St. John's Children's Ministries

Jesus said, "Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them; for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven."

Matthew 19:14

Sunday Morning Worship
Children are welcome to participate in any of our morning Worship services with their parents.  During each service one of our pastors will invite the children to the Altar for "Altar Wigglers" time.  Children (Pre-School thru 3rd grade) who attend Worship may pick up a "Parent Survivor Bag" from the usher room, which is supplied with fun and quiet activities that will keep little hands busy during the sermon time.  Please return the bags to the usher room at the end of the service.  (Red bags for Pre-School thru Kindergarten and Blue bags for 1st thru 3rd grade.)

Sunday School
9:45-10:45 a.m.  Sunday school is available for all children ages 3 thru 5th grade by August 1st.
     Pre-School (ages 3 and 4) is taught by teachers using age-appropriate curriculum.  The teachers also have help from "Theo" our puppy puppet in teaching Bible stories to the children.  This class meets in Room 301.
     5 years thru 5th grade is using a rotational curriculum.  This class begins each week in Room 302 with an Opening Celebration before separating by age/grade.  This curriculum provides eight weeks of learning the same topic but by different means.  The different stations include Art, Computer, Creative Cookery, Games, Music/Movement, Science, Storytelling and Video.
