There is a box outside the church for donations, which are collected regularly.

We worship almost every week at St John's with hymns, prayers, and a reflection or sermon from one of our lay leaders. All are welcome, and if you arrive a bit before 11 you can join us for a hot drink and biscuits. Occasionally there is a Cluster or Circuit Service where several Churches gather together in one church building, and that may be elsewhere. Please ring 01579 362698 if in doubt.

Our styles of worship vary from Morning Worship with regular Holy Communion to Worship Leader led services in which members of the congregation take part.

An afternoon gathering for a bit of craft work or just a natter with friends over a cuppa and a piece of cake.

A short service of Morning Worship with coffee, biscuits and chat.

A get-together for people whose memory is not as good as it used to be, and their carers if they have one. Aides-memoire to bring back some of those memories, people can make a memory box for themselves and carers can swap notes. Guided chat, a cuppa, a piece of cake and a laugh.

A time of play and fun for parents, grandparents, aunties, friends, babies and toddlers, to introduce them to the Church in readiness for baptism. A short act of worship followed by a generous tea.

The Good Grief Café was inspired by Reverend Chloe Jones. In order to be open to all she suggested that it would be totally informal.
We can grieve for many reasons:-
the death of a friend or relative,
the diagnosis of a friend or relative with dementia or a terminal illness,
the loss or illness of a pet,
the loss of a job,
homelessness,
loss of mobility or driving licence,
closure of our Church or Chapel,
loss of freedom,
the closing of a group that supported us,
the loss of stability in society.
Any of these can cause us to grieve, so the Good Grief Café is for anyone who is grieving in any of these ways (and no doubt there are others too).
So please feel free to come along and eat our cake, drink our tea and just chat if you want to, or just listen if you don’t.
