Jesus answered them, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”

– Luke 5:31-32 (Kids Church memory verse for this term)

Kids Church has well and truly started for 2025 and there are so many things to be celebrating and thankful to God for already:

  • It has been a joy seeing kids and leaders grow and be equipped to tell the goodness of Jesus - how he welcomes and eats with sinners, how he came to call not the righteous but sinners to repentance, he can satisfy all our needs, how much he loves his people by dying for them to rescue them. We love learning about our King Jesus and please give thanks to God for this!
  • We have really enjoyed singing the song Dr. Jesus by Awesome Cutlery this term. If you haven’t heard it already here is a link to it so you can sing along with your family. CLICK HERE
  • This term, we have seen kids come back to Kids Church after a long time. I asked one of the leaders what could be the reason and he said “Because we prayed”. Praise God for answering prayers and for the leaders committing each child to our heavenly Father in prayer.
  • Kids Church Preschool, both 11am and 9:30am, is growing and what a great blessing to have little kids learning from God’s word, singing to God and praying together.
  • We have had many new families coming along to 11am Kids Church because of posts and invites through social media and many have heard the gospel for the first time, praise God! Despite our weaknesses, the lack of space and resources, we pray that God would continue to provide for this ministry and use it for saving more and more people with the gospel.

Prayer Points for Kids Church:

  • Praise God for the growing number of kids (preschool age) and please pray for our partnership with parents so they would be equipped to disciple their children in the gospel and prayer.
  • Praise God for many new families coming to hear the gospel, pray for St John’s parents and kids to develop friendships with new families and welcome and embrace them into our church family.
  • Pray for God’s provision for leaders, appropriate space and resource and for the new building development to go ahead quickly and smoothly so we can keep proclaiming the gospel to more and more people in our city.
  • Please pray that Kids Church will be a place where leaders and kids will grow to be like Jesus, love others like Jesus and tell the world about Jesus.
