*We want to share the love of God with all the children we meet.*

*We want children to:*
 -	Know Christ
 -	Understand God's Word
 -	Grow in their own spiritual walk
 -	Be able to share the love of Christ with others

###Children's Church
Children's Church is for children, 0-11yrs, who meet on Sunday mornings at St Mary's. Children meet together at the start of the 10.30 morning service for games and free play. There are 5 age-specific groups where we teach the children the basics of the Christian faith and encourage them in their own faith, through games, crafts, stories and other fun activities.

###Cogglets
Cogglets is a baby, toddler and carer group run by St Mary’s Church in Cogges. We welcome all children aged 0-5 years and their parents or carers. You will be welcomed with a fresh cup of coffee or tea and friendly face. At Cogglets, our focus is on the carer. We believe that if you are well cared for, the children you are caring for will be too. 

[/cogglets.html](St Mary’s Cogglets) meets on Tuesdays from 1.15pm to 2.45pm during term time only. We meet at Cogges Church Centre on Church Lane OX29 3LA.

###X:site
An event for all 7-11 year olds in the West Oxfordshire area. Every 2 months on a Saturday evening (6-8pm) usually held at St Mary's, Church Green, Witney.
Each event combines silly games, live music with a great band, videos, creative prayer, craft, drama, Bible stories and lots more so that everyone can have a good time, learn about Jesus and have fun at the same time! They have such a great time that they invite their friends to come too.

It is organised by a partnership of local churches (including St Mary's Cogges) in the West Oxfordshire area and Scripture Union.

Alternative Halloween party: held on Halloween at tea-time to offer an alternative to ‘trick or treating' with games, a disco and snacks.
Christmas Crafts for Kids: our popular craft morning aimed at primary school aged children. Come along and create some Christmas decorations and gifts.
