We usually have three services on a Sunday, at 9.15am, 11am, and 6.30pm, although we change our schedule to allow for an extra service once a month, or for one less service during school holidays.

There are children’s groups during the first morning service, except on the first Sunday of each month where the children join us for a Children’s celebration service. The message delivered is the same during both morning services. We follow a regular service pattern except during summer holidays and special days:

• 9.15am: Family Worship with Children’s Groups & Crèche. Holy Communion on 3rd Sunday
• 11am: Morning Worship & Crèche. Holy Communion on 2nd and 4th Sundays of each month
• 3.00pm: Holy Communion, only on 1st Sunday in the month only.
• 6.30pm: Evening Worship. Holy Communion on 1st Sunday of each month

Check the calendar for more details about each Sunday.

If this will be your first visit to church, then we have a specific page that tells you what to expect at St John’s.

Sunday Sermons and Messages

Our Sunday sermons are recorded, and you can listen to them again online, by subscribing to our podcast, or by ordering a CD. A hearing loop is available in the main body of the church, but not in the balcony.

Prayer after the service

After the evening services, a team is available to pray with you, about something from the service, for healing of a health problem, or for any other needs. If you would like prayer, and there isn’t a prayer ministry team available, just ask the leader of the service, and they will always find someone to pray with you.

If you’ve got any questions after the service, feel free to ask one of those who have led that night, or one of the welcome team on the door as you leave.

Creative Worship

We also organise more creative reflection times, where the church is open for prayer, perhaps with creative actions to do, video to watch, or words to read. Keep an eye on the church diary for these.
