Our normal Sunday Service at St John's is at 10am - but the type of service may vary:

On the 2nd and 4th Sundays each month we have a Holy Communion services with Junior Church (with a variety of different activities for the different ages).

The first Sunday is an all age Service (no-communion & family friendly) and on the 5th Sunday we join with other churches in the Benefice for a Benefice Service which may be in Hook or one of the other churches in the Benefice. See our website for details.

On the 3rd Sunday each month we have Morning Worship with Junior Church (with no Holy Communion).
