St Joe's: summer walk

Occurring
for 1 hour, 30 mins
Venue
St Joe's, Newton Leys
Address
San Andres Drive Newton Leys Bletchley Milton Keynes, MK3 5GG, United Kingdom

A chance to stretch the legs, getting in those 7,000 suggested daily steps (!) - and have a cuppa, drink or snack at the end!
Our summer walk will give all ages and abilities the opportunity to enjoy conversation, the countryside and time to chill.
Meet by 10.30am, at the Newton Leys Pavilion Playing Fields, and we will walk down the Redway to the Blue Lagoon, have a wild-water swim in the Lagoon - ONLY KIDDING!! - and back to The Turing Key for drinks. Feel free to meet at 'the pub' if you can't make the walk itself.

As we head into the school summer holidays our pattern shifts - but we're ABSOLUTELY #stillchurch !!

St Joe's, Newton Leys

Hello, and welcome to St Joe's!  So, who are we…?

Informally: we are a “Church for those who don't ‘do church’. An extended family of sorts - in & out of each others homes.”

Formally: St Joseph’s (Church of England) church was formed in April 2017 to serve the new-build housing area known as Newton Leys, to the south of Bletchley and Milton Keynes. The church was started with the help and support of St Mary’s Parish Church in Bletchley. St Joe’s is officially recognised by the Anglican Oxford Diocese but continues, at the moment, to ‘come under’ the organisational and charitable status of St Mary’s Church.

How would we describe ourselves? A local, community church? Yes!  A new expression of church? Yes! A church for those who don't usually do church, or who have become a bit disillusioned with church? Yes!

We focus on a ‘missional model’, to informally but strategically share Jesus, life and community with each other - and anyone who wants to take this faith-journey with us. We meet two or three times during the month at the local primary school for Sunday morning services, and on other Sundays, and at other times, we organise a range of activities and events that fulfil and enhance our mission and calling.
