This year's Diocesan Weekend of Prayer takes place from 10th to 12th September 2010. The theme is 'Setting the Compass', the idea being that as we move into our Autumn programmes, we ensure that we are seeking God's direction for all we are and do, both as individuals and as the Church here at St John's. With fellow Christians in our diocese, travelling together on our journey of faith, we look forward to exploring the theme this weekend, in our family worship and in our prayers.


'Open House'

Our Church will be open on Saturday September 11th 2010
from 10.00am till 1.00pm


Would you like to spend some time away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life …to find a quiet place where you can enjoy precious moments of peace …a place to sit quietly in God's presence?
You may wish to share with Him your own joy and happiness … or your worries and anxieties. You may like to pray for special friends and relatives. Perhaps you have difficult decisions to make, or are concerned about the future. Do you know anyone who would like to visit St John's with you?
Prayer in its simplest form is being with God and resting in his presence


Come and pray in the peace and tranquility of our beautiful church


In my journeying with you
may I never lose my sense of direction
never lose sight of the landmark
towards which I travel
And should cloud or rain obscure my vision
may I draw closer to you
so that my feet may tread
in your footsteps
your words be my encouragement
and your love my protection
against the storms that assail me.
