CAR PARKING

Because car parking at the church is becoming difficult, we are opening up the school playground on Sunday mornings for everyone to use. The playground is at the back of the school, and is large enough to accommodate about 30 cars. Please do use this area to park in, but take extra care when exiting into the street as cars do tend to speed up and down the hill.

Thanks

Nigel

REPORT ON OUR FLOURISHING AND FEASTING SERVICE AND BBQ

A huge thank you to everyone who organised, helped, and joined us for our Flourish and Feast service!
It was a wonderful celebration of all God has done at St. John’s, both in the past and present, and we’re filled with hope as we step forward together as a family into the future.
Even the weather joined the celebration, clearing up just in time for our BBQ

Here are some of the many photos from the day::

Our next service of Thanksgiving and Remembrance will be on 8th June at 4pm, when hopefully it will be a bit warmer!

Food Bank

Our local Food Bank at the New Zion Christian Fellowship church would appreciate receiving donations of food and other things from us now and all year round. It would be wonderful if you could support them by bringing various things in on Sunday mornings, and placing them in the big plastic box which will be placed in the porch. The sort of things the Food Bank would like to receive are:

All food with good sell by dates (tins of fruit and veg, jams, packets of cereal, coffee, tea, long life milk and so on)
Toiletries such as shampoo and conditioner and toilet rolls
Cleaning products (kitchen and bathroom cleaners etc)

We are asked not to donate clothes.

Nigel will arrange to take our offerings to the New Zion church every Wednesday morning.

Please sign up for a spot in the Cleaning Rota

Still slots to fill!

"The Cleaning Rota" did not run during Covid and instead the Churchwardens Jenny and Nigel cleaned and disinfected per Covid best practice, but now it's time to ask for your help with getting the rota started again.

Jenny will be contacting people who have previously taken a turn with cleaning. More volunteers are needed to help us. All the materials you'll need are provided. All that we need is your time!

Let's spread this load between us all!! Please contact Jenny if you would like to take a turn with cleaning.

You can choose a date that suits you!
