Celebrate the birth
Baptisms are for parents who want to mark the occasion of their child's birth as well as for adults of any age.
Children & the Cathedral
Here at Sheffield Cathedral we welcome children to our services. If you are a parent or looking after a young child you may feel anxious about bringing them to a service in case they make a noise. Please believe that we are happy to have the children with us. They often enjoy the atmosphere of worship, and like to see what is going on. We also provide activities especially designed for children to take part in during the services.
Children and communion
Here at the Cathedral baptised children of any age are welcome to take a full part in the Eucharist by receiving the bread and wine of communion. We leave this to the parent or carer’s discretion, just tell the people administering the bread and the cup what your wishes are.
Happy bags
Happy bags can be obtained from the stewards at the Sunday morning service. In them you will find toys and books for quiet play for young children.
Godly Play
Godly Play is for 3-11 year olds, and takes place every Sunday in term time during the 10.30 Sunday Eucharist. A Godly Play session includes a time to:
- get ready
- tell a story using objects and artefacts
- explore the story more with questions and discussion
- respond to the story using a variety of materials
- enjoy a simple feast and sharing.
You will be surprised how much fun the children have, and how much they learn.
