On the second Sunday we have a service of Holy Communion. This is also sometimes called a Eucharist. Here we share bread and wine to both remember Jesus’s saving actions and in a deep and mysterious way be attached to him as well as connected to each other. The service includes readings from the Bible, times of prayer, a reflection or sermon. Its done in traditional language and it is in fact an older form of service first developed in the 16th century called the Book of Common Prayer. People value it for its connection to our past and particularly for its beautiful language. We love this service with its reverence and holiness, but also as an opportunity to be together with God.

The next service of Holy Communion will be on Sunday 9 August 2026 at 9 am.

Taizé is a simple, meditative form of Christian worship, utilising short contemporary chants, prayerful silence and Bible readings to guide the focus of prayer in a candle lit environment. The services call us to dwell deeply on Christ's presence within and among us.

Many of us, find our spiritual moments when outside in nature. This is a space for people like that! It is an interactive service for all ages meeting outside in Potton Woods near Cockayne Hatley. It includes a nature-based activity, Bible reading, prayers and thoughts springing from the nature around us. We then head back to St. Johns for refreshments.

This service is much loved in the Church of England. It’s a service that began its development in the 16th century but actually has ties to much earlier forms of worship in monasteries. It uses traditional language and through its regular rhythm is a time of prayer and reflection.

The next service of Evening Prayer will be on Sunday 23 August 2026 at 4 pm.
