Children and Young People

Lancaster Priory welcomes people of all ages and offers age specific activities for children and young people on Sunday and throughout the week.

Carer and Toddler Group

Mini Marshmallows is on Fridays 10.00- 11.15, at the Marsh Community Centre 

Young Church 

Our aim on Sunday mornings is that the children will experience God’s love for them in the welcome they receive, the prayers they pray, and the Bible stories they learn; and we think they do this best when they are having fun.

We meet every Sunday morning at the 10.00am service during term time and most Sundays during the holidays. The children start the service with their parents and then, after the first hymn, go to their groups with their leaders. Children currently meet in the refectory. All children return at the end of the service to go with their parents to take Communion or receive a prayer of blessing.

There will be Young Church every Sunday, other than when we have our ALL AGE service.

The next ALL AGE service is  this Sunday 8th June at 10.00am.

In the Regimental Chapel there are toys available for younger children, please ask if you need any further information.

If your child would prefer to stay with you during the service we have ‘Busy Bags’ that can be found at the back of church to help keep them entertained.

Children aged two and under are welcome to join but we request that Parents stay with them.

Preschool children, aged 3-4, are also welcome and parents are welcome to leave if they think their child is settled.

Children in Reception or above have their own brief short prayer and light a candle together, hear a Bible passage or story, and then explore the Bible passage through discussion, craft, games, acting, drawing and prayer.  This is done in smaller groups.

Youth Groups

Priory Youth Group meets throughout the school year and also undertake organised social events, sporting activities, as well as study and discussion.
