St John's is
the perfect place to bring your family! Lots of us parents have been pleased (and
relieved) to find a church that so warmly welcomes children and respects their
needs so thoughtfully.
We have a thriving Kids Club
that takes place in the church hall on Sundays—at the same time as the main
service. This is where children are gently introduced to spirituality through
stories, games, and crafts in a relaxed and informal atmosphere.
Babies and pre-schoolers need
to have a parent with them to help with any tricky sticking and glueing—the
messier, the more fun we say! This is also a great opportunity to meet other
parents and chat over coffee.
Older children have their
own sessions and take a more in-depth look at things. They use a modern
approach that shows how to draw from the Christian faith to deal with real and
difficult situations—be they at home, school, or wider global issues—with
confidence.
Books and toys are also
available in the main church for special family services or in case your child
would prefer to stay with you in church.
With
lots of social events and plenty of opportunities to get to know like-minded
people, St John’s is
really at the heart of the community in the Hyde Park Estate, and is proud of
the welcome and support we provide for families that come to us from all over London. |
