Christian Aid Week 12 – 18 May 2024

Christian Aid Week is rapidly approaching and, as in recent years, we are looking for willing volunteers to deliver Christian Aid envelopes to streets around the town
The task is now made somewhat easier in that there is no need to collect the envelopes, it will be on a “delivery only” basis, with the envelopes containing a note of where to deliver them (either St Mary’s House or St John’s Old Vicarage)

Please would you let Alan Weller know if you are able to help, either individually, or perhaps as a Life Group – and remember, the more willing volunteers we have, the fewer streets any one person will need to cover!  Alan has a list of the streets allocated to St John’s ready and waiting!

Do not be surprised, or offended, if you get a “tap on the shoulder” from Alan over the next couple of weeks – you will have been specially chosen!

Celebration and APCM Service  Sunday 21April 

This coming Sunday we will be celebrating and reviewing 2023 at our Annual Church Meeting.
Come along early for Praise, Worship and Pastries., worship starts at 10.20am.

The Annual Report and Financial Accounts 2023 and Annual Review 2023 (which also contains the agenda for Sunday and minutes from 2023) can be found on our APCM webpage.

 

New Website and ChurchSuite 

Hopefully you will have received your invitation to join our new membership database during this last week?  If you haven't seen the email, Alan, Noelle and Lois will be available before and after the APCM this Sunday to help you sign up.  From Next Friday this is where your weekly Enews will come from. Alternatively please contact the office and we will be able to assist.

On Sunday we will also be launching our New Website at the APCM, so when you go online things will look a little different, this website will continue to be developed during the coming months, so if you see something which looks not quite finished, please bear with us as we complete this work.
