St. John’s FREE Lunches (now finished)

We will be providing lunches in our church hall, every week over the summer holidays.

This is open to all - families, singles, couples and people of all ages. It is hoped the project will create a social space for people to meet together and eat, and will reduce some of the extra pressure put on families usually on free school meals over the holidays. Please note the meals are FREE TO ALL - and you do not have to be on free school meals or meet any other requirement to receive them.

We are calling on people of all ages - not just families - to help by coming along and by spreading the word.

The meal for this week is jacket potato with a choice of beef chilli/salad/beans/cheese, and unlimited free juice or hot drinks.

There are craft activities for children and a toy corner for toddlers.

We thank Waitrose and Morrisons, our local stores, who have generously supported this venture.

Royal School of Church Music - Music Sunday

We warmly welcome everyone either in person in church, or through our streamed service, to our Sunday service, led by Revd Jaimée Summers.

On RSCM Music Sunday several members of the church are going to speak about what music means to them.

We mark the centenary of the death of Sir Charles Villiers Stanford with his tune for "When in our music God is glorified" and 350 years since the birth of Jeremiah Clarke with Paul Miller playing the Trumpet Voluntary.

The anthem is William Boyce's Alleluia and the opening Fanfare is by Kenneth Leighton.
