Toddle Along

Toddle Along is especially for children under 3 years old, along with their parents, grandparents or carers. It meets on Monday mornings from 10am-11.30am, during school term time.

At each session there is plenty of space and colourful toys to play with, as well as conversation and refreshments for toddlers and adults. We also sing songs and everybody gathers to hear a short story (often a bible story) told in a way that is both accessible to toddlers and interesting for adults. Then the children can do a craft activity, making something linked to the theme of the story. Each term there is a different theme which connects the stories and crafts together.

There is no charge and we look forward to welcoming you and your little one(s).

Planning your Visit

New to Church?

If you are planning your first visit to St John’s, welcome! We hope the information below will help you.

Our Sunday morning services begin at 10.00am. When you arrive, you will be greeted by one of our welcoming team who will help you find somewhere to sit and will give you a service booklet and a hymn book. Please see our ‘Sunday services’ page for more details of services and times.
We serve tea, coffee and biscuits after the morning service and we hope very much that you will stay for a chat. All refreshments are free.

Accessibility: There is wheelchair access through powered double doors, and an accessible toilet. We have a small car park, and there is free parking on a Sunday in the surrounding streets. You may wish to arrive 10-15 minutes early if you need a parking space close to the church.

You can expect:
- A warm welcome, with everything you need to follow the service easily;
- Beautiful music in the English choral tradition at both Sunday services, led by the St John's choir and organist;
- A talk or sermon, usually focused on the readings we have heard;
- On Sunday and Wednesday mornings, tea or coffee afterwards and time to chat with others.

What about children?
We have a regular Children’s Church on Sunday mornings for 4-11 year-olds. The children learn about the same Bible readings we are hearing in church, with games, activities and prayers. We also have an All-Age service, where everybody worships together, on the first Sunday of each month. Find out more about Children's Ministry.
