Benefice
Children and Families
Jesus said 'Let the little Children come to me'. The Christian faith is a faith for all ages and the gospel of Jesus is for everyone young and old. We as a Benefice are committed to ensuring there we run activities and events that appeal to all ages. With life in 2024 being so busy and hectic for families we are working very hard to be very deliberate about providing families with opportunities to worship and explore faith which work for them.
Some ways we work with Children and families are:
Building Church
Looking for something welcoming, creative, and a little different? Building Church at All Saints Leamington Hastings is for everyone — children, adults, regular churchgoers, and those just curious.
Join us for:
-
Tea and coffee
-
Lego building fun
-
Craft activities
-
A light evening meal together
-
A relaxed time of biblical reflection that’s engaging for children and meaningful for adults too
Next session:
Wednesday 13th May
4:00–5:30pm
All Saints Church, Leamington Hastings
Building Church meets on the second Wednesday of each month at All Saints Leamington Hastings.
Come and eat, build, create, reflect, and enjoy time together — everyone is very welcome.
Children's Choir
Our Children's Choir meets every Tuesday at Willoughby Village Hall, where children enjoy learning new songs to sing at special services at St. Nicholas' (such as Christmas, Mothering Sunday, and Harvest Festival). They also perform short concerts at Galanos House in Southam and eagerly look forward to traditional carol singing around the village at Christmas.

Working with our Church schools
In our Benefice, we are blessed with two Church Schools: Knightlow C of E Primary School, located in Stretton, and Leamington Hastings Academy in Leamington Hastings. Volunteers from across the Benefice actively contribute to the life of these schools by regularly visiting to lead Collective Worship and provide valuable support to the teaching staff. These efforts help strengthen the connection between the schools and the church, fostering a vibrant community of faith and learning for both students and staff alike
