St J's Kids runs during school term times through the year.  It normally starts on the first Sunday after school resumes and stops from the first Sunday after school stops.

Children should come to the 10 am service and after meeting during church will proceed to Sunday School.

"We think Sunday School is important because it gives our children a chance to learn about the Christian faith and it supports our Family."

The theme for 2008 is based on the concept of “Going on a Bushwalk” aligning this with our journey of learning about living in God’s way at St J’s Kids throughout 2008.

WHY GO TO SUNDAY SCHOOL/ St J's KIDS?

Sunday School is all about providing a Christian Education programme that is exciting and meaningful, which develops the children's sense of belonging to God and to the St John's in the City family.  We also want children to feel comfortable enough to bring along their friends.

Parents' comments

"The St. John's Sunday School is an excellent service for our children, which they enjoy very much.  In several small classes the children have fun activities and receive some spiritual guidance.  For us it has the added benefit that we can enjoy the main service without having to constantly be conscious of whether the kids are disturbing any other churchgoers." 

Our Sunday School members come from a range of suburbs in and around Wellington. Many of them are children of families that regularly attend St John's in the City. However, all children are very welcome!

Every term, during the school year, Sunday School is held upstairs in the Conference Centre. The children normally go into the main church at the beginning of the 10:00 am service and leave as a group after the children's time in the service.

Teachers and children then meet collectively as a group and share a song, prayer and collection before breaking off into smaller groups for classes.

Here are the objectives that have been set for each age group.

After Sunday School is finished at around 11:00, there is time for the children to let off some energy in the gym and play games.

St John's in the City is very lucky in having a dedicated team of Sunday School teachers.  St John's Sunday School Co-Ordinator is Anna Davis.

We look forward to welcoming your children to Sunday School at St John's in the City.

For further information, you can either ring the Office on 385 1546 or email the Sunday School leaders on enquiries@stjohnsinthecity.org.nz

Parents: Please feel free to drop on in one Sunday soon with your children.

The Importance of Children...

Mark 10 13-14

"People were bringing little children to Jesus.  They wanted him to touch them.  But the disciples told the people to stop.  When Jesus saw this, he was angry.  He said to his disciples, "let the little children come to me.  Don't keep them away.  God's kingdom belongs to people like them."

Matt 18 1-9

"At that time the disciples came to Jesus. They asked him, "Who is the most important person in the kingdom of heaven?" Jesus called a little child over to him. He had the child stand among them. Jesus said, "What I am about to tell you is true.  You need to change and become like little children.  If you don't, you'll never enter the kingdom of heaven.  Anyone one who becomes free of pride, as this child, is the most important in the Kingdom of Heaven."

Psalm 127:3

"Children are a gift from the Lord.
They are a reward from him."
