10 picks around Longfield, New Ash Green and Hartley, from 9 local venues. The map pin is doing actual work here.

1This is our group for children aged between 3 years and 11 years. We meet on the 1st, 2nd, 4th and 5th Sundays of the month, starting in the Church then moving over to the the hall for a time of teaching through stories and craft. We then return to the Church for Communion or the end of the service. We would love for your little ones to join us and learn more of the stories of Jesus.
