Churches Together Rep wanted

 Do you have a heart for working with people from other churches? Lyn is one of the representatives from St John’s and we have a vacancy for another. The group meets four times a year with the church ministers from Woodbridge and Melton and we pray and plan together to share the love of Jesus in our town. It is a lovely opportunity to get to know fellow Christians from other denominations and to show that despite the differences in the way we worship we have so much more in common.
Please speak to Lyn or a PCC member if you feel this is something you would like to be involved with.

 

Do you enjoy being out in the fresh air with your friends?

We would love to invite you to come and join us on Tuesday 19 March between 2pm to 4pm to help look after our churchyard.
Bring your own tools, Secateurs, loppers brooms etc and enjoy the fresh air, see the signs of new growth and build on friendships together.

Would be lovely to see you on 19 March !
