Kids at St John’s
A place for children to wonder, grow, and belong
At St John’s, children are right at the heart of our church family. Whether you’re a regular churchgoer or exploring faith for the first time, we’re here to welcome you and your little ones with warmth, care, and fun.
Summer 2025: Fun in the Son!

📅 Sundays 3, 10 & 31 August
All children are welcome—including older siblings up to Year 6.
🚫 No Kids Church on 27 July or 24 August as we pause for the holidays.

Kids Church Resumes – Sunday 14 September
📍 The Vicarage (next to the church)
🕙 Arrive just before 10:00am
Our regular Kids Church starts again on Sunday 14 September, running during term time for children aged 2 to 8. Children gather at the Vicarage just before the service and rejoin the congregation for the final hymn or Communion.
Each week includes:
📖 A Bible story (Old or New Testament)
🗣 Thoughtful reflection and chat
🎲 Games, 🎨 crafts, 🎶 singing and snacks
✝️ A focus on Jesus—his love, miracles, and God’s big rescue plan
Kids Church is a joyful, nurturing space where children are known, loved, and encouraged to grow in faith and friendship.
Babies & Toddlers in Church
Families with babies and toddlers are always welcome in church—we love the sound of little ones in worship!
If you need a break, you can use:
👶 The Quiet Room at the back of church (with the service streamed live)
🏡 The Vicarage, where there’s room to feed, settle, or play
All-Age Services
Our All-Age Services are held on the first Sunday of every month at 10am. These are shorter, interactive, and designed for all generations to worship together—perfect for families who are new to church.
