Welcome to St. John’s Kids!
Our heart is for kids who feel known and loved by Jesus and to be part of a community that cares for them and their families.
Please feel free to get in touch with Dawn, our Children, Youth and Families worker if you would like more information.
Sundays
Fledglings
SUNDAYS 10:00AM (DURING OUR MORNING SERVICE)
Fledglings are the wonderful 4 - 8’s at St. John’s, who make up a vital part of our church family. We start church together, then after a family song and thought provoking object-lesson, the kids head over to the Church Hall for the best hour of their week, before returning to join for communion.
Flight-RG5
SUNDAYS 10:00AM (DURING OUR MORNING SERVICE)
Kids age 9 -14 make up Flight-RG5. As well as participating and leading in the wider life of our church, they meet up together during our 10.00 Sunday service in our dedicated youth space to play games, catch up, pray for each other, and get more involved with God. There are always exciting (and slightly crazy) social events coming up for Flight, so keep your eyes peeled.
4:00pm Wild Church
EVERY 4TH SUNDAY OF THE MONTH • CHURCH COTTAGE GARDEN
On the 4th Sunday of the month, we meet in the Church Cottage Garden for Wild Church. This is an all-weather, light-touch space for people to explore faith and share life together. There is a mix of activities designed to get people out exploring their environment whilst they ask wondering questions about the God who made it all. We engage with the Bible, often around a campfire that requires marshmallow toasting and lots of hot chocolate!
During the Week
Tuesday Toddlers
TUESDAYS 10:00 - 11:30am
We welcome parents, grandparents and childminders with babies and toddlers up to 4 years old. As well as doing child-friendly crafts, we also come together each week to celebrate birthdays, sing action songs and nursery rhymes and tell a Bible story. Coffee/Tea is served for the adults and there are biscuits for everyone. Please bring a drink for your child.
Puppet Practice & Praise
WEDNESDAYS 4:30PM - 6:00PM
Each week, our young people gather together to try their hand at puppeteering! This is fun and relaxed time where those with more experience teach others the joys of puppeteering. Most weeks, we work towards a song or short performance that is incorporated into our Sunday morning services, so everyone can join in the fun. We are always looking for more volunteers to ‘lend a hand.’
Creative Kids
We serve a creative God, and we love being creative at St. John’s.
Here are some of the children’s latest creations which you can follow at our St. John’s CYF Instagram Account.
