St. John's encourages participation of young people in all areas of church life. Children are always welcome at our worship and encouraged to watch and learn as we watch and pray over them. There are special pages called "Kidsword" at the base of the baptismal font along with pencils and crayons for their use. If any young children would rather be downstairs we do have a nursery provided at the 10 a.m. service.
All grammar school age youth are welcome to participate in our active Youth Group. Please contact the church office or Father Jenks for details.
