Worship at St John’s and beyond

Worship is at the heart of the life of every church community. When we come together in worship we are acknowledging our place within the congregation of Christ's faithful followers in this place; we are also being fed and strengthened by the word of scripture and by our mutual life of prayer. Worship is vital in the life of every person who professes the faith of Jesus Christ.

The Church is open daily for prayer

St John's Church, Corby Glen, is open throughout the day, every day of the year. As well as being open to all, there is the opportunity for anyone to light a candle and offer a silent prayer in our inspiring and welcoming church.

Holy Communion

A midweek service of Holy Communion takes place every Wednesday at 10am. This quiet and reflective celebration of the Eucharist provides an oasis of prayerful calm in the middle of busy lives.

Sunday Services

Sunday services are held every week in St John’s Church, following this monthly pattern:

First Sunday, Morning Worship with Deanery Curate, 11am
Second Sunday, Holy Communion, 4pm
Third Sunday, Morning Worship with Authorised Lay Ministers, 11am
Fourth Sunday, Morning Worship with Authorised Lay Ministers, 11am

School Services

There are two schools in Corby Glen, a primary school and an academy serving the 11-16 age range. We welcome them regularly into St John’s Church for their own special services for Harvest, Remembrance, Christmas, Easter, and for school leavers.

Throughout the year there are moments when the Church is given the opportunity to minister to those who are not regular churchgoers. The great festivals of Christmas and Easter are two such moments in the year. There are also those other times, such as Harvest and Remembrance Day, when we welcome many visitors in our churches.

The worship life at St John’s is flourishing – let us pray that it will continue to grow and grow ...
