St John’s relies entirely on voluntary contributions of money, people’s time and their skills. Our giving page has lots of information on how we use your donations and how to set up regular giving to St John’s.
Whether you give a little, or a lot, or not at all today, we are happy to share our services with you.
Help to keep services at St John’s going …
… and be a part of our team at the back of the church on a Sunday morning
If you have been attending church during the pandemic, you will have seen the Warden’s Team of Paul, Christine and Mick (assisted by Gillian) holding the fort every Sunday.
The Team needs your help in the form of
· two more deputy wardens
· Sidespersons to check in those who have made Eventbrite bookings for the 9am family service and 10am Mass. (Time commitment 8:30am to about 10:15am).
· people to operate our audio-visual system for live streaming. If you can use a PC you could easily do this!
Training will be given with all these roles.
Interested? If you, or anyone you know who might be interested in finding out more, please contact any of the wardens either at the back of the church on Sunday or by email to [email protected]
Anyone who responded a similar request before Christmas need not respond this time.
Regards
Tim Roberson

A Prayer for the Duke of Edinburgh
‘Well done, thou good and faithful servant: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.’ (Matthew 25.21)
God of majesty,
give rest to your servant Philip
who, having served his Queen and Country,
has passed from this life,
full of years yet strong in spirit.
As we give thanks for his life,
as Prince and husband,
as Consort to The Queen,
we pray that all that he has done
may continue to bear fruit
in the lives of individuals
and the life of this nation and the Commonwealth,
to your honour and glory,
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
St John’s in bloom
Thanks to all those fantastically creative people who made the church look so beautiful for Easter.
For those that were unable to come here are some pictures – they don’t do it justice though!
I also think our Easter Garden looks absolutely brilliant. Many thanks to those that have put this together and to our very own Paul for creating the outbuilding.
