You'll find a warm welcome at St John's Shenstone. We are a friendly church at the heart of the community that caters for people of all ages. We enjoy strong partnerships with many village organisations including Greysbrooke Primary School.
Our regular worship includes the best of the old and the best of the new, with musical input from both an organ and a music group. Sunday services normally follow a monthly pattern, providing a range of styles of worship, with our main service at 10h45. We cater for families with young children through special services, our 'Early Birds' on Sundays, a midweek Rainbow Guides group and our 'Open the Book' Assembly Team.
We run occasional groups for those wanting to find out more about the Christian faith, and also to help people deepen their understanding and experience of God. Many of our members also belong to small groups meeting regularly in homes.
For weddings, wedding blessings, renewal of marriage vows, baptisms and thanksgiving enquiries, please contact the vicar. Our one day wedding preparation course is extremely popular with couples.
We conduct funerals either in St Johns church or at the crematorium; for these, the approach to us is normally made through your funeral director.
St Johns has a fine peal of bells in its tall belltower, which is on a hill top and visble for miles around. The bellringers practise on Thursday evenings. The historic ruins of the tower of the earlier (Norman) church can also be seen in our lovely, wooded churchyard.
St Johns Shenstone enjoys close links with St Peter's Stonnall, with whom we share our vicar, and also with Trnity Methodist Church.
St Johns church also owns St Johns Hall, on the same site as the church, in a quiet, wooded setting. It is mainly used by community groups. St Johns Hall is available for hire at modest rates, for children's parties, one-off events or new regular activities. For details please contact R Lawrence on (01543) 483437.
