At 19:30 The Phantom comes to St John’s. This classic film will be fantastic in the environment of the church.
Please come and join in the fun. Tickets available online and on the door.
Quiet Day for Shirley Churches Together
“This is the homely heart of Incarnation, this meeting of God with men and women, this simple face of divine graciousness in ordinary life”
Eugene Kennedy, Joy of Being Human
We were very privileged to welcome Hilary, former chaplain at the Croydon University Hospital, to lead our meditations for Advent. We were able to spend time reflecting on how wholly present in our earthly lives is our incarnate God.
Awaken us, Lord
To your presence in the ordinary,
Open our eyes
To the wonder of your incarnation.
May the Lord make us ready for his coming in glory
