CHILDREN'S CHURCH
We host a children's church jointly with our neighbouring church, St Mary Magdalen, Oxford. On the 2nd and 4th Sundays of the month, the children's church will meet at 10:30am in the Parish Room of St Michael at the North Gate. At approximately 11:15am the children can join the service at either St Mary's or St Michael's.
On the 1st Sunday of each month, the children share in the first part of the service, including all-age teaching, and then enjoy their special activities in the Parish Room. All children are invited and their parents are warmly welcome.
