St John the Baptist Church is more than a building - it’s a place where our village comes together for community, support, and reflection.During 2025, the church has been active in serving both Smallwood and wider charities. Our Plough Service raised funds to support the church, while the Rogation Service enabled a significant donation to East Cheshire Hospice. We’ve supported Smallwood Academy by providing Bibles, Year 6 leavers’ gifts, and handmade holding crosses created by our YAS Club. At Harvest, the generosity of the village resulted in a large donation to the local food bank, and our Christingle Service continues to support The Children’s Society.Throughout the year, the church has remained open in times of crisis, offering a quiet space for peace and reflection when it has been needed most. Our Ministry Team is always available to support members of the community.St John’s is proud to be part of Inclusive Church, welcoming everyone regardless of background or belief. Looking ahead, significant roof repairs are needed in 2026, and we’ll be holding fundraising events throughout the year to help secure the future of this much-loved village church.Whether you join us at a service, attend an event, or support our fundraising, thank you for helping keep St John the Baptist Church at the heart of Smallwood village life.Revd Heather & Smallwood PCC
This January we will be exploring the theme of 'journeying'. We will reflect on the gifts we can bring to our Church mission, as we learn about the journeys taken by the Wise Men, the first disciples and Jesus in his ministry.Please click on the flyer on the right for more information about our worship pattern.
