About this event

  • Event lasts 7 hours

Small but mighty!

The work that you do through your toddler group is vital. Though it might feel like your contribution is small, you not only provide a safe space for parents and their little ones to take time out and have fun, but also offer help, happiness and hope for all those who attend. 

It might sometimes seem like your toddler group is undervalued, or that you put in a whole lot of effort but don’t have all that much to show for it. You might see just a few families a week, and feel it’s not enough, or perhaps you reach many but wonder if it has any spiritual significance.  

The truth is that whatever the shape and size of your toddler group, when you sow into families you have a far-reaching impact on whole communities. God is doing so much beneath the surface that you might not see. 

Join us at this year’s Playtime Conference as we explore how God can do mighty things through that ‘small’ that we offer.  

It’s not just toddlers who are small but mighty – your group is too!
