Children & Youth Activities
We offer a range of regular activities for children, providing a safe and nurturing environment for learning and play:

An ecumenical team, including six of our church members, actively participates in the Open the Book project. This outreach takes place weekly during an assembly at Woodlands Park Primary School, bringing Bible stories to life through:
- Scripted storytelling
- Basic character acting
- Engaging discussions with children

Facilities & Enhancements
For the benefit of children and the Pre-school Group, we have added extra facilities:

Community Engagement
- Our church has supported AIDS orphans in Kenya through a long-term fundraising project.

- These events include free activities, such as:
- Climbing wall
- Face painting
- Tea and cakes
- Despite the challenges of the weather, these events have been a great success, and more are planned for the future.
Looking Ahead
Although our congregation is aging, we remain open-minded and committed to exploring new ideas for mission and outreach as we continue to spread God's love in our community.
We look forward to welcoming you to Woodlands Park Methodist Church!
