Pet Service last Sunday

Thanks to everyone who helped with the Pet Service and to those who brought along their furry friends!  It was a special service, acknowledging the valuable role that animals play in the daily lives of many of us and the joy that they bring.

Pix / Pyx

We need some more of the small boxes, known as pix or pyx, to carry the Eucharist when we minister to those at home.  Before we buy new ones we thought we’d ask if anyone has one that St John’s could use? If you do please bring it in. Thank you

“Tai Chi Café”

Tai Chi Cafe has enjoyed a good year with participants from both St John's and the wider community. Everyone agrees it's a great venue for the group and a donation has been given to church funds. Tai Chi Cafe has now finished for a summer break and will start again on Thursday, 4th September at 2pm. for more information, please contact Laurene MacKenzie at taichicafe@warpmail.net
