St John's, Little Thornton

A service of Holy Communion and the imposition of ashes to mark the beginning of Lent As we are marked with the sign of the cross in ash, we are reminded that is from dust that we come and to dust we will return.

St John's, Little Thornton

Welcome to St John's Little Thornton! We are a friendly and inclusive parish church.

A service of Holy Communion is held in church at 10am each Sunday that is streamed on our YouTube channel and available anytime afterwards.

The third Sunday of the month at 10am is a service when all the family join together in church. On other Sundays, the children go into the hall for 'Seekers' - our childrens' church and rejoin toward the end of the service. 

Have a look at the 'What's On' page for other services - alternative times on Sunday and a mid week communion.

 We aim to have Jesus at the heart of everything we do, not only in church when we worship but in our daily lives, work places, schools and homes.

I look forward to welcoming you at one of our services - or join us online.
With my prayers and God's blessings

Rev Jane
