'All Age Worship' is a shorter service without Holy Communion(with the exception of Easter and other major festivals). The aim of 'All Age Worship' is to be child friendly.
Children are invited to sit near the front so they can more easily be involved. Some of the older children from the Ark Club do the readings and prayers and all the children are encouraged to participate in the service. They are certainly not expected to be seen and not heard!

It usually lasts between 30 and 45 minutes and is an act of worship very different from other services.
