Parish Magazine

Our October/November '26 parish magazine is out, and it’s full of the people and stories that make St John’s special. Rev’d Kathryn reflects on the darker months; Gina Butler takes us along on a lively Bike ’n’ Hike with Kevin and Lucy Earl and the team; and Lorraine Dewar introduces the People’s Emergency Briefing film we’ll be showing in November.

Jo Brooks shares autumn activities for children and families, while headteacher Michelle Boylan brings news and photographs from St John’s School. There’s more fascinating local history from Andy Chapman, Nature Notes from Geoffrey Hollis, and thoughts on the peaceful 8am service.

You’ll also find a short report and photographs of The Big Give and Wild Autumn Worship, alongside our services and events for the months ahead. Thank you to everyone who wrote, photographed, contributed or helped make it happen!
