Children's Ministry
@ St. John's
Lives of the modern family are so busy and full. Work, School, and Family commitments can overwhelm a family, leaving little time for other involvements. We understand this and are committed to working with you to bring Christ into that full, busy life, so that you and your family can find strength, comfort, and renewal in your Christian faith and in a Christian community. St. John's is a resource for your family's faith journey needs.
St. John's Children's Ministry leaders are here to help assist you, your child's primary Christian faith teacher, by fostering an environment in which your child can learn and explore what the Christian faith means to them as an individual, as a member of a faithful family and as part of a faith community. Children have the opportunity to hear the stories of our heritage, to discuss what these stories mean in their lives today, and to actively live out their faith through worship and outreach activities appropriate for their age and developmental stage.
If you would like more information or you have a question please feel free to contact the office @ 860-379-3062 or email Linda L. Snyder, Director of Children and Family Ministry@ llsnyders4@charter.net

Children and Worship
Children are members of the body of Christ. Without them in our worship one piece is missing. We welcome all children to join us in worship!
