Our church has a child protection policy, in line with the Diocese
of London. Our children's advocate is Mrs Phyllis Manning, who can be
contacted
by email.
Children are always welcome at St
John's.
We hold a Service for All Ages on the first Sunday of the month.
Special
activities are organised for children on most other Sundays, when the
children help to plan themes and responsibilities for
the All Age Services held on the first Sunday of each month. All
children,
carers, parents and guardians are welcome.
To find out more, or to be involved in running our Junior
Church, please
contact Benjimin or Victoria Burgher by email.
Toyin Ajidele is the Children and Youth Worker, a post which
is shared between our
church and the neighbouring church of St Luke's. Toyin works
closely with the Rector, her line manager, at the parish office in St
John-at-Hackney.
