Sunday Worship at St John's
8am: Holy Communion
For an hour on a Sunday morning, we offer an opportunity for breathing space, sacred space… An opportunity to learn and grow and worship together...
This Service is ideal for those for whom worship is enabled in a beautiful, quiet,
formal and liturgical setting and also for young parents who perhaps may wish to
take turns to give each other an opportunity for ‘me and God time’ -
10am: Worship Together
If, on the other hand, the chance to worship with a more multi-
At this Service, we are led by a group of gifted musicians and singers in learning
new songs as well as singing hymns and songs that, having stood the test of time,

God – through singing, silence, multi-
On the 1st Sunday of the month, we meet in the church hall at 10am for an hour of
worship and learning, featuring a story-
What happens during the week?
Life Groups
Like the other churches in the parish, St John's has a house group network (Life Groups), where members of the church family meet to study the Bible, enjoy friendship and fellowship as well as pray or be prayed for. It is primarily through these Life Groups that we seek to provide sustainable care and connection, accountability and spiritual formation here at St John’s. We have groups that meet weekly or fortnightly. If you would like more information about what is involved or if you would like to join a Life Group, please fill in a Life Groups Form to indicate your interest and availability.
Little Fishes
We, as a church family, warmly welcome children, with all the joy (and chaos!) that they bring. In addition to the activities we provide on a Sunday morning, we run a toddler group, Little Fishes, which has become famous for its homemade cakes!
Tea Time Together
On the last Wednesday of the month we meet for 2 hours of fun, friendship, formation
and food in the church Hall at 4.30pm. Please contact Esther if you would like more
information. Click here for details.
The wider Community
St John's Church enjoys good relationships in the community, especially with St John's Court Residential Home, Cove Infant School and the numerous users of St John's Hall. St John's hosts a good programme of social events to which all our welcome (please see our year planner for more details). For instance, in April 2011, we hosted a Royal Wedding Party for the wider community which was enjoyed by many and further highlighted our vision to put St John’s at the centre of our community. Further afield, we have recently signed up to raise money for a Christian Aid Partnership Project in Burkina Faso. By pledging to raise £5,000 by January 2013, the project will receive matched funding of 4 times that amount from the European Union.
St John's then and now
St John the Baptist was built in 1844, and is the original parish church building. It is a charming building and has a large churchyard (now closed, but with a Garden of Remembrance for ashes).
If you haven’t been in St John’s in recent years, it is worth a visit to see the
beautiful re-
