During the Parish Eucharist on Sunday mornings, young people from St John’s go across to the Church Centre
to learn more about God and Christianity, to take part in enjoyable activities, and to learn more about
themselves and each other. The Sunday School children are a valued part of the worshipping life of St John’s:
the entire congregation is present as we gather at the beginning of the service, and the children return in time
for communion. At the end of the service the congregation gets to find out what they have been up to! The
current Sunday School started in September 2007 and is led by Paul and Ann, and assisted by a team of
volunteers from the congregation.
As well as providing suitable activities on Sunday mornings, we also have occasional activity days during the
school holidays. We join together with our neighbours at St Matthew’s so that we can enjoy being in a crowd!
In 2008 we had a Sunday School Sports Day (see archived photographs) in July and a Christmas Party in
December, as well as half term activities in October. In September we had a Sunday School outing to Alton
Castle in Staffordshire, where we explored prayer and spirituality alongside lots of exciting games.
