In Flanders fields poppies grow,Where many a hero now rests their heads;never to see their homes again.They left behind mothers, fathers, wives, brothers, sisters, sons and daughters;never to see their loved ones again.If only we didn’t have to go to war, but to live in peace.That is why we lie in Flanders fields, where poppies grow, never to grow old.Just to rest, in peace for eternityTo all our heroes who died so that we could be freePenelope A.

Yesterday, we launched our “Fill a Jar Challenge” 🫙 Can you help? Like many of us, St John’s has increased costs that we are trying to find new ways to cover; the idea of a jar to pop spare 10 & 20p’s in can make this act of generosity feel easier. So, between now and Christmas, adding those loose coins into the jar will make a massive difference because every little helps! Once a jar is filled, you can hand it back to one of our Church members or drop it into church (basket of empty jars in front of the font) Most importantly, THANK YOU! Because of our community generosity, St John’s is here all year round for you and your family, for times of joy and sorrow.
Rest eternal grant unto them, O Lord: and let light perpetual shine upon them. The righteous shall be had in everlasting remembrance: he will not be afraid of any evil tidings. Amen
Our annual All Souls service will take place today. This is a time to remember loved ones who are no longer with us. All Souls - Sunday 3rd November 2024 - 4 PM
