St Johns is a worshipping community that seeks to share the love of Christ with all people.<\/p>\n
Below is a brief summary of some of the ways the love of Christ comes to life at St Johns.<\/p>\n
Please contact the office for further information regarding any of the ministries provided.<\/p>\n
St Johns strives to be a place where members and friends regularly engage with God\u2019s word in meaningful ways.<\/p>\n
In addition to Sunday worship, seminars, bibles studies and congregational camps are held regularly to draw our community closer together in Christian devotion and discipleship.<\/p>\n
Children are welcome at all services and are considered a vital part of the St Johns worshipping community.<\/p>\n
Activity sheets, themed in accordance with the worship service are available from the ushers, as are soft toys for younger children.<\/p>\n
A parenting room in the worship area (with bathroom facilities) is also available for use.<\/p>\n
An example of the active and creative role of our children in the life and ministry of St Johns can be seen in the Noah\u2019s Ark mosaic gracing the courtyard.<\/p>\n
During the school term, children meet during the 11am service for specially prepared activities linked to the church\u2019s liturgical year.<\/p>\n
These sessions are suitable for pre-school and primary school aged children and provide a safe, friendly and fun environment in which to learn about Jesus.<\/p>\n
The youth group caters for high school aged children. It meets for social and spiritual growth activities on the first Saturday of each month. All are welcome.<\/p>\n
The St Johns congregation regularly produces a publication entitled \u2018The News\u2019.<\/p>\n
This newsletter keeps members up to date with various activities at St Johns and aids in strengthening our relationships with God and each other.<\/p>\n
The Sacrament of Baptism is celebrated at St Johns during our Sunday worship services.<\/p>\n
Both children and adults are welcome to receive this gift of God.<\/p>\n
Children aged between 8 and 11 years are welcome to attend Step up to Communion.<\/p>\n
This short course teaches the value of the Sacrament of Holy Communion and prepares children to receive it for the first time.<\/p>\n
Aimed at children in their early teens, our confirmation course provides in-depth Christian education in a fun and interactive environment.<\/p>\n
The confirmation course culminates with participants publicly confirming their faith in the triune God at a special confirmation service.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
