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
HARVEST FESTIVAL SERVICE AND LUNCH
It was a Harvest-tastic at St John’s last Sunday!
Two joyful services full of wonderful readings, singing, exploring and generosity.
All topped off with a brilliant Bring and Share lunch.
Maple the dog also came to church today, especially to hear everyone sing happy birthday to her!
Happy birthday Maple!
Thank you to everyone who made this such a special celebration of God’s love
Report: St John's All Together Service - Dare to Try
We ‘Dared to Try’ as we began a new school year and season.
With the help of spot of paper aeroplane making and the story of Peter’s wobble on the water, we discovered that God is with us when we try new things — and really doesn’t mind if we don’t get it right first time.
In fact, he uses our mistakes to help us grow.
We rounded it all off with a brilliant BBQ — thank you so much to everyone who made it such a special start to the year!

FOOD BANK
The
New Zion Christian Fellowship Food Bank, which is where I take all our
food donations to, always express their sincere gratitude to St John's
Church and school for our support week after week. After our Harvest
Festival services this year, I took them the vast amount of food that so
many people had donated, and I have just received a letter of thanks
from the organiser which I would like to share with you. Here it is.
