St Mark's 'Winged Lions' for Children and Young People
​
On Sunday mornings our "Winged Lions" meet during the 9.30 Eucharist, with art, crafts, games and drama related to the day's bible readings before we all meet back together in church for the second part of the service.
We also have a 'children's corner' within the Church that contains biblical books and activities.
On two Sundays per half term we hold an all aged service and children join the larger congregation.
Our Winged Lions often have 'away days' where we take part in an activity like bowling or going to the local adventure playground.

1st Shiremoor Scouting
The 1st Shiremoor Scouts, Cubs and Beavers meet at Holystone Primary School each week during term time. The groups come to St Mark's for Church Parade at special times of the year, and Fr Tony is chair of 1st Shiremoor Scouting.
This year for St George's Day the Scouts, Cubs and Beavers came to church to learn all about our patron saint and the weird and wonderful stories associated with himm and in November the Scouting groups took part in our Remembrance Day service to mark the centenary of the beginning of the First World War.
