What's been happening?

Messy Church - The Nativity

We had a wonderful Messy Church where we were Donkey's and had to gather together all the characters for the Nativity story, but......there was a catch! They were all in pieces! After putting our characters together we gathered with them for a reading of the Nativity story.

Christmas Carols on the River

On Sunday 5th December our fabulous choir took part in Let's Go Punting and The Traditional Punting Company's Annual Charity Christmas Carol event; Christmas Carols on the River. The event was this year in aid of Blue Smile.

The choir sang everyone's favourite Christmas Carols whilst gliding along the River Cam on a Chauffeured Punt on a very cold afternoon. Well done everyone!

Cello Recital

We spent a wonderful evening with Georgia Morse. Our thanks to everyone who came, we hope you enjoyed the evening. A big thanks especially to Georgia for so generously sharing her musical talent with us all.

COP26 What Next? Climate Panel

On December 3rd, St John's hosted a climate panel on what might happen following the COP26 conference.

The Panel brought together expertise on international climate change negotiations from Dr Joanna Depledge, on climate change strategy, the reform of energy markets from Professor Michael Grubb, and an insight into the relationship between climate change and poverty in the Global South from Robin Greenwood. Each analyst gave their own perspective and then the floor was opened to questions. Further information about the panellists can be found here.

You can watch the Climate Panel Lecture here. The material begins 7 minutes 48 seconds into the live-stream, and covers the three keynote speeches - Dr Depledge, Professor Grubb, and Robin Greenwood. The duration of the three talks, giving a vital perspective on COP26 and its outcome, is 48 minutes. Q&A section is not recorded.
