Christmas is a special time at St John's and we would love to welcome you to our church to celebrate the birth of our saviour.

Christmas Tree Event and Christmas Fair

A wonderful event to start the Christmas season, come and see over 20 Christmas Trees decorated by various charities and transforming our church into a Christmas wonderland. Together with our Christmas Market, with a cafe, crafts and stalls and a visit with Father Christmas on the Saturday only, it is a great way to spend a few hours in the run up to Christmas. We would love to see you. Entrance is free.

Christingle

A beautiful service for all the family, make a Christingle during the service - don't worry if you have never made one, we will show you how and give you all the things you need - and then see the church illuminated by the candles. It is a lovely service to begin our Christmas services here at St John's.

Planning your Visit

A Warm Welcome to St John's

The following information is specifically for those planning a visit, so that you know, beforehand, what to expect on a Sunday morning.

Where and When

We meet at the Church Building (details here) for our Sunday Service starting at 10:30am. When you arrive you can be assured of a warm welcome.

We serve tea, coffee and biscuits at the end of the service. It is a great way to meet people. All refreshments are free.

Accessibility: There is wheelchair access, and a sound loop for anyone who needs it. Please let one of the Welcomers know on your arrival and they will help you to get set up. There is a toilet accessible to wheelchair users in the hall.

Our Service

The service begins at 10.30am with a warm welcome from one of our team members and we give thanks to God for the good news we have to share. Following this we have a family song, encouraging children involvement in leading our actions! During our services we try to have a balance of traditional, modern and new worship. One of our leaders will then give a bible based talk that we can apply to our everyday life. After that, we sing again before a time of prayer which will be led by the leader. We then finish with a final worship song. The whole service lasts around an hour and we stay for ‘proper’ coffee and biscuits!

What about my children?

Children stay with their parent or grown-up, we have areas at the back and front of church with toys, beanbags and crafts. There are baby changing facilities in the hall We love having children in our services, they are valued members of our church.
