Kids Church
Updated: Monday 1st November 2021
Online streaming of Kids Church has now ended. You can visit our YouTube Channel to view all the previous online episodes. From this weekend (Saturday 6th November, 2021) Kids Church will be held in-person at the Ranelagh Adventist Church, starting at 11.15am. We will be continuing with the series entitled, “Digging into the Heart of God”. We hope that this series inspires your children to get to know God more.
From September 2020 to July 2021 we streamed a series about Digging into the Bible. You can find the archive of those Kids Church programmes here.
Weekly Craft Activity & Take Home Lesson
Each week we will upload
- a weekly craft activity. Children may need parental help doing the craft.
