Diddy Disciples

A question for some of you: especially if you are involved in a Diddy Disciples group that is held during a Eucharist/Holy Communion service. Apologies if this is irrelevant!
Is the Sanctus/'Holy, holy, holy' during the Eucharistic Prayer sung or said in your church? If it's sung, which setting?
I'm writing a DD Eucharistic Prayer Unit for groups that would like to support their children in fully participating in communion. For churches that sing, It would be great to shape the material round common music settings.

This weekend we celebrated two years since the launch of Diddy Disciples Book 1! Happy birthday to us!!!!
And what a journey! Excited for all that lies ahead!

Excited to be on my way to beautiful Birmingham Cathedral for the National Estate Church Network Conference! #NECN2019 It was brilliant last year. Do come and say hello if you're there!

This will be brilliant! Come if you can! #NECN2019 This Tuesday in Bradford. This Thursday in Birmingham. https://estatechurches.org/2019/03/necn-2 019-conference/ …
Diddy Disciples will be there, too (so long as my voice comes back: it's currently decided to stay back in Norway!).

Excited to announce that we're coming to Cambridge! Do book a place and come and say hello if you're nearby and can make it!

Such a warm welcome in Bergen from the Church in Norway. And a sense of excitement about what could lie ahead. A highlight of today: their jazz worship, which was amazing! Plus leading a packed church of lay and ordained leaders in the Diddy Disciples 'Prayers for other People'. God is good.

Just touched down in Bergen, Norway! Excited to be introducing Diddy Disciples to a conference of lay and ordained ministers from the Church of Norway here! 🇳🇴 🇳🇴 🇳🇴

Such a joy to walk into church this morning to find our #Matisse inspired altar frontal out to celebrate #Pentecost! Created by the amazing Diddy Disciples of @StPeterWalworth @SouthwarkCofE!

I got one for one of my daughters. Now I'm getting one for all of them! Brilliant!

What sensory materials have you used to help babies and toddlers connect with the storytelling in your group? It's a question that's come up a couple of times on the Diddy Disciples Leaders page. We'd love to learn from the wide range of experience represented here!

It's always brilliant to hear about how you've made Diddy Disciples your own in your own place.
Here's The Parish of St Andrew and St Mark's Surbiton using the storytelling as part of an All Age Service!
Do keep sending in your photos (with permissions!) and feedback. We love to hear from you.
