COVID-19 Update

In line with guidance from the Government and the Church of England, we are not holding Sunday services or mid-week meetings at St John’s at the moment.

However, recognising the importance of meeting together, we intend to do our best to meet together via videoconferencing. We want to make continued participation – even in this less personal way – a priority, just as we would if we were meeting live. We need one another, and the nourishing food of the Word of God.

We will start meeting together in the Church Rooms from Sunday 6th September with a maximum capacity of 40 people, with the Zoom option continuing.

How we are meeting

Sundays

We’re meeting online as church on Sunday mornings and we hope everyone will be able to join us wherever you are! At 10am (or a little before) you will need to click on this link https://zoom.us/j/152030147

We’re hoping to have all the components of a normal Sunday morning – songs, all age section, prayers, and teaching from God’s Word.

Homegroups

We are encouraging our homegroups to continue to meet, at what is a stressful time for many via video conferencing technology (e.g. a free Zoom account (limited to 40 mins), Skype or Facetime), with the usual format of Bible study and prayer. Your group leader will be in contact with you.

Midweek groups

Most of our Short Courses will continue on-line. If you have signed up for one of those the course leader will be in contact with you about the details.

Our wider community

We have distributed postcards to every home in our parish, offering help to those who are self isolating or are affected in any other way. If you are able to join the team of volunteers please get in touch.

Christianity Explored course

In these strange times many people are thinking about the big questions in life, wondering what it’s all about. Christianity Explored is an informal 7-week course, for anyone who wants to think about the meaning of life, and the relevance of Jesus.

You will be able to ask any question you like, or you can just sit and listen!

Join us 8pm Wednesday 17th June via Zoom:
