Sunday Services

This week's pewsheet

The church meets every Sunday at 10am and at 6pm. At every Sunday service you can expect a warm welcome. The full St John's Choir, young and old, sings at every 10am service and adults in the Choir sing at 6pm.

We follow a pattern of Bible readings and forms of service shared with the Anglican community world-wide. Relevant preaching is grounded in the Bible readings and we pray for the church, our community and our world.

There is a service of Holy Communion every Sunday, usually at 10am but, on the first Sunday of the month, at 6pm.

On the first Sunday of the month the 10am service is an All-Age Service. Every other Sunday of the month children aged 3-12 enjoy Children's Church, where they learn about God through a programme of age-appropriate activities based on that Sunday's bible readings. Children who sing in the Choir are able to join in Children's Church. Younger children can stay in the service and our crêche team will look after them.

If it is your child's first time in Children's Church you will need to go with them to register them, as part of our safeguarding policy.

Other than on the first Sunday of the month, the 6pm service is generally a Choral Evensong appreciating the timeless language of the Book of Common Prayer (BCP). Occasionally the 6pm service is a Songs of Praise-style celebration, or a quieter, contemplative, Taizé-style service.

There is always an opportunity after the service to pray with one of the clergy team.

Planning your Visit

New to Church?

If you are planning your first visit to St John’s, welcome! We hope the information below will help you.

Our Sunday morning services begin at 10.00am. When you arrive, you will be greeted by one of our welcoming team who will help you find somewhere to sit and will give you a service booklet and a hymn book. Please see our ‘Sunday services’ page for more details of services and times.
We serve tea, coffee and biscuits after the morning service and we hope very much that you will stay for a chat. All refreshments are free.

Accessibility: There is wheelchair access through powered double doors, and an accessible toilet. We have a small car park, and there is free parking on a Sunday in the surrounding streets. You may wish to arrive 10-15 minutes early if you need a parking space close to the church.

You can expect:
- A warm welcome, with everything you need to follow the service easily;
- Beautiful music in the English choral tradition at both Sunday services, led by the St John's choir and organist;
- A talk or sermon, usually focused on the readings we have heard;
- On Sunday and Wednesday mornings, tea or coffee afterwards and time to chat with others.

What about children?
We have a regular Children’s Church on Sunday mornings for 4-11 year-olds. The children learn about the same Bible readings we are hearing in church, with games, activities and prayers. We also have an All-Age service, where everybody worships together, on the first Sunday of each month. Find out more about Children's Ministry.
