A lively, after school group for children and their parents or carers. We meet at about 5pm (never mind if you're a bit late). Parents take turns to cook a simple meal which the children share around a table. We have some free play, a Bible story, then we sing and end with a prayer. We love it: come and join us.

From birth to about 12.

Our main Sunday service, usually with a choir and organist when available, of traditional holy communion. On the first Sunday of the month this becomes a family service suitable for children. On all Sundays children can attend Rise and Shine in the Christina Room during the main service.

A hugely experienced choir sing choral evensong once a month (normally the second Sunday) for most months of the year.
It is as well to check specific details on our website as it may be moved occasionally to suit the annual church calendar

Next Choral Evensong: 12 May 2024 at 6pm at St John's, then 30 June at 6pm, when we will welcome our new curate.

The church choir meet every week to rehearse music for the following Sunday service and to learn new repertoire for the future

This is our weekday communion service held normally every Wednesday. A quiet half an hour: prayers, music but no hymns and a reflection.
