Bubble Church is a 30 minute family service for babies, toddlers and children. It has been spreading across the UK as as new way of engaging families. Claudia Evans Cox is the youth and children's minister at St Martin's Church in Guernsey and has been offering Bubble Church for a year. Read about it below:
"For our services in Guernsey, families arrive and are greeted at our welcome desk by a team member. 
We have a café area where they can collect refreshments from more of our wonderful team. We offer tea, coffee, squash and mini croissants and pain au chocolate. At 9:30 the families move to their ‘Bubbles’ which are mats on the floor that each family unit sits around. During the service we have a warm up game, puppets, action songs, prayer, liturgy with actions, a Bible story and follow on activity found in the Bubble Church Bags provided on their bubbles.
"We started on 14th April 2024 so have been running for over a year. We run weekly and having only missed three weeks due to school holidays. We have between two and five families attending weekly which ranges between six and 14 participants. Our children range in age from a few months old to 11 years. We have two families who were not regular church attenders before Bubble Church. One family who hadn’t been to church since having children which was over seven years ago. They said that this was exactly what their family had been looking for and wished it had been available sooner. Parents have said how Bubble Church filled a hole inside that they did not realise was there before they started coming.
"Our team of volunteers consist of church members, young people, parents and their children. In most cases families that attend end up joining our team. Some of our young people volunteer as part of their Duke of Edinburgh Award. Whilst growth has been slow so far, we are constantly looking at new ways to advertise and would ask that you join us in praying for more families to join us soon."
