  • Children’s choir
  • Engage young children’s attention by encouraging them to use their bodies e.g. by signing hymns, copying gestures etc.
  • Offering a deliberate blessing to those of all ages unable to receive Holy Communion 
  • Altar server teams
  • Young readers teams
  • Youth band
  • A mixed-age liturgy committee
  • Different aged welcomers in the car park and at the door
  • Various groups within the church taking a special responsibility for a part of the Mass
  • A family writing a bidding prayer to read out together
  • Bidding prayers that reflect the lives of the whole community
  • A teen group dramatising the scripture reading
