We understand that babies are loud, fussy and sometimes difficult to calm. This is how God made babies to be! That’s why we welcome babies at St Annes.

We encourage parents with babies to remain in the main church gathering, even if their babies are making a bit of noise. We don’t want you to feel guilty or embarrassed for being a parent to a young child.

However, if privacy or a quite space is needed, our Little Bubs Corner is a room in the back of the auditorium where nursing mums are able to breastfeed and unsettled kids can have a breakout space.

Time: Sundays 10am                    For: 1 – 5 year olds

Our Little Kids Bible Fun (LKBF) group is our weekly Sunday program for children who are not yet in school.

The children start off together with the whole church family for the first song and a “Family Spot”, and then make their way into their rooms to play with toys, learn from the Bible at an age-appropriate level, sing songs, make some craft and make new friends.

Parents and carers are encouraged to leave their kids with the LKBF leaders to calm them if they are feeling unsettled. Where children need a nappy change or are very unsettled, we will call the parents and carers to come and comfort their kids.

Time: Sundays 10am                    For: Kindergarten – Year 6

Our Kids Bible Fun (KBF) group is our weekly Sunday program for children from K-6.

The children start off together with the whole church family for the first song and a “Family Spot”, and then make their way into their rooms to play games, learn from the Bible at an age-appropriate level, sing songs and make new friends.

Where possible, we attempt to align the teaching program with the preaching schedule. This enables parents and carers and children to discuss and help each other understand what they’ve learnt from church that week.

Mondays 9.30-11am (school term)

Playgroup is our new weekly morning program for children who are not yet in school.

Each week, parents, grandparents and carers from all corners of Ryde can bring newborns, babies, infants, toddlers and pre-schoolers to the hall to sing, dance, play music, read Bible stories and enjoy a fun time with each other.

This will be a wonderful opportunity for parents and carers to meet other local families as they share morning tea together and the children play.

Reboot
Reboot Youth Group meets on Friday Nights during school term from 6:30-8:45pm. It is for youth in year 6 to year 12. We eat dinner together, either down at Top Ryde shops or we cook it ourselves at church. We then spend time in the Bible learning about Jesus and praying together, followed by lots of fun and games.

Camps
St Anne’s youth go on a variety of camps

• We take a group of youth to the KYCK convention in Katoomba for a weekend around the Easter holidays each year. Many youth groups gather together for Bible Talks, seminars, singing, and serving – a valuable time away together! Click here for more information
