Lyneham: Upcoming Little Lights sessions in MOD Lyneham Community Centre

 

Our toddler group is a warm and welcoming space for little ones and their carers. Each session will last an hour and begins with lively songs and rhymes to get everyone joining in, followed by a short and engaging Bible story with the help of pictures, props, or actions.

After the story, children can take part in a fun craft, giving them a chance to be creative and explore the story in their own way. We finish with snacks for the children and refreshments for the adults and free time to chat and get to know one another!

Little Lights provides a relaxed and friendly environment where families can explore & grow in faith together while little ones learn, play, and thrive. Whether you’re a family with lots of faith, no faith or are somewhere in-between, everyone is welcome.

Upcoming dates:

• Fri 3 July 2026

• Fri 17th July 2026
