Service of Holy Communion with choir
Choral Evensong from the Book of Common Prayer, with music from our choir. On the first Sunday of the month, Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament follows.
On the last Sunday of the month, and throughout August and part of September, the choir is on holiday. A simpler form of evensong is sung by the whole congregation.
“Meditation is simple, being simple means being ourselves. It means passing beyond self-consciousness, self-analysis and self-rejection.”
Laurence Freeman
Free meditation session in the vestry at St John’s. All are welcome.
While the basis of this form of meditation is Christian, people of all religions and none also regularly attend and find coming together in a group for silent meditation very beneficial to their well being.
In partnership with our local GP surgery, St John’s hosts a weekly yoga class for the health and well-being of our community. Free of charge – all welcome.
The class takes place in the church hall.

Service of Holy Communion with choir
Fr Philip leads a Bible study, with a bring and share lunch.
Come and join us to drink tea, eat cake, and discuss death.
Death is generally considered a taboo subject in western culture. Our objective is to increase awareness of death and explore how this can enhance our everyday well-being. We aim to provide the opportunity for people of any background, religion, culture, or belief to meet and discuss all aspects of death, dying, and grief in a safe, non-judgemental environment.
In the church hall.
