Services at St John's
SUNDAY SERVICES
Our main Sunday morning service take place at 9.30 am. (Please always check as we do occasionally have a 10 am start).
The Sunday morning service is an informal and friendly service which is suitable for all ages. On the third Sunday of the month we have an All-Age Service where our children participate in the service. At all the other services there are activities for children and young people as well as junior church for children and babies.
The service includes singing and prayer as well as reading and teaching from the Bible. The music includes modern worship songs as well as traditional hymns. We do occasionally use display screens at the front of church, but large print copies of all aspects of the service are also available. Every week you will find a pew sheet inside the service book provided. This useful sheet contains information on forthcoming services as well as other activities and church news. After the service, refreshments are served over in Church House. This is a good time to begin to get to know each other.
We offer a number of evening services on a Sunday:
8am Holy Communion (said)
9.30am Parish Communion (all-age service usually on third Sunday)
11am BCP Matins
11.45am BCP Holy Communion (First Sunday of the Month)
8pm Compline (First Sunday of the Month)
The ancient office of Compline derives its name from a Latin word meaning ‘completion’ (completorium). It is, above all, a service of quietness and reflection before rest at the end of the day. It is most effective when the ending is indeed an ending, without additions, conversation or noise.
5pm Engage – A short, informal service with band-led worship and an engaging speaker (Second Sunday of the Month).
5pm Evensong (Third Sunday of the Month)
Beautiful words using the Book of Common prayer; sung psalms and canticles by robed choir; traditional hymns for all to join in; calm, peaceful and reverent.
