Children & Youth

We believe that when Jesus said “Let the children come to me, do not hinder them”  he meant it, and meant it for all God’s children, ages 3 to 93!  We currently have weekly Sunday School classes for adults.

We also have a once-a-month “Funday Sunday” for the children of our church and those of the local community, with a morning gathering time at the start of our session that brings us all together.

Come on in and be shaped by God’s love!

  • 2022 VBS

    2022 Vacation Bible School

    July 6, 7, 8

     6:00-8:30 PM

    Ages:   Age 4 through Grade 5

    Bible stories told by Jesus himself!  Three nights, three parables–stories that Jesus told!

    The Lost Sheep          ~          The Prodigal Son        ~          The Good Samaritan

    Our Focus Bible Verse:

    Mark 12:30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ 31 The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.” 

    Our VBS Mission Project is the Grain of Rice Project, which was begun by a young woman from Brookville. They developed and serve a school in Kenya. A volunteer speaker will be coming to VBS, and all are invited.

    For July, this will be a Love offering for our congregation! St John’s will match up to $1000 raised for the Grain of Rice Project!

    Donations can be placed in the little red beach bucket in the sanctuary.
