We need to have a good tidy up in the churchyard at St John's. Can you spare an hour between 10.30 and 1.15 on Sunday March 3rd? The jobs will include sorting ,moving and stacking bricks, clearing some overgrown shrubs to make space for a compost heap, levelling some uneven ground, clearing litter, putting up bird and bat boxes, some strimming, and weedkilling the path to the church. It would be helpful if you brought along some tools to help with these things.
The PCC will be providing hot drinks and soup as an incentive!
If the weather is unsuitable for outside work we will put a notice at the end of the church lane to let you know and the day will be rescheduled

St John's, Waberthwaite

The welcome at St John's is warm and friendly. Our small congregation worship together every other week using the Common Worship Communion Service and we often sing quite joyfully, unaccompanied. Our services last about an hour, with the offer of a cup of tea or coffee and a chat afterwards.  There are now accessible toilets in the Old Laundry, in the new churchyard.

In our churchyard stand the shaft of a Celtic cross, whose intricate design reminds us that Christ has been worshipped at this estuary ford since at least the seventh century. We are a community of vision with existing plans for the development of this site which will enable it to continue being a place where people encounter God for many generations to come.
