Sunday Worship at St John's
St John's church meets for worship at 10am on a Sunday morning. It is at present
mainly Communion centred and relatively informal. The first Sunday is generally our
Worship Together service where the children stay in the main body of the church and
we worship together as the Family of God. Refreshments are served after all services
in St John's Hall. The worship is led by a small and gifted music group, generally
keyboard/guitar led, in a range of styles from traditional to modern. A data projector
is used for songs, words and often during preaching. Aside from the Team Vicar (currently
a vacancy), there is a Reader and the beginnings of a small preaching Team. In the
last couple of years, from a strong base, the church has seen some healthy growth
and Sunday congregations average between 50-
Other activities at St John's
A new Church based toddler group, Little Fishes, was launched in January 2007 to reach out into our community as St John's is committed to reach out and serve its neighbourhood with the love of Christ. St John's enjoys itself as a church community with a good programme of social events and has recently raised funds to provide 1000 people with clean drinking water through a well supported Charity quiz. St John's Church enjoys good relationships in the community, especially with St John's Court care Home, Cove Infant's School and the numerous users of St John's Hall. As with the other churches in the parish, a number of our church family have begun attending New Wine in the summer.
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). It is hoped that major building work will commence in the near future to see the introduction of a new welcoming area, toilet and improved access to the church along with some reordering to the interior (improved lighting and heating systems as well as maximising the visual impact of the chancel area).
