Selected
children's service
The logical answer.
I think this is what was said in our NY church in my childhood. It was a short part of the service for children, though it might have been the "children's word"

Well, I was wrong, it's called the "Children's Lesson" at my former church:

Rachel Ward
: Googling "children's service" gets too many social services type hits to check, but I'm sure this is a good option. You also get "all-age services" if there are adults there too.

Note from asker:
| Thank you for idea, but this kind of church mass actually is on Saturdays. And yet, this is Europe (Germany). The sentence should sound like "Every Saturday there is a ????????? at 15:00. |
Peer comment(s):

AllegroTrans
: no it is simply a service - a Sunday School is an Institution, or at least a teaching class attached to a church///it has nothing to do with whether I am happy, it's all about quality of translation

Children's Mass
if the church you have not identified is Catholic.
Children's Church Service might work for a Protestant church.
It depends upon whether this is a Mass/service or an educational/school/youth program.
Saturday Church School, Saturday confirmation classes, Young Christian Fellowship Meeting, etc.
Unless you tell us the denomination, we're throwing darts.
