Readings for Sunday

Proverbs 8:1-4,22-31. Romans 5:1-5. John 16:12-15. The Holy Trinity

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

Charity Lunch 25th May

Thank you to everyone who contributed to the success of the Charity Lunch following our morning service on Sunday 25th May.  The donations for this lovely social event raised £214 for Christian Aid. The planned lunch for “Safer Families” will be held later in the year. 

Thursday 19th June 2pm-3pm “Tai Chi Café”

If you would like to join us on Thursday afternoons, you are very welcome and just come along. For more information speak to Laurene or email taichicafe@warpmail.net . 

Pet Service 22nd June

If it’s a nice day we hope that this service can take place in the garden.  Please bring your pets along.

Tuesday 8th July Fellowship Group 

The Fellowship Group’s next meeting will be on Tuesday 8th July 2025 from 1.30 -3.30pm. Please come along for a warm welcome, a cuppa and a good chat.

Next Vestry Meeting 8th July 7pm

The Vestry had a wide-ranging discussion at its last meeting.  The expensive rented photocopier will be removed this week and replaced by a printer, which will be a good long term saving for St John’s. The Vestry are also looking at purchasing lighter weight tables and chairs for the café area.  There was also discussion about funding sources for larger building projects in the future. The next Vestry Meeting will be on Tuesday 8th July at 7pm. Please let Stuart or any member of the Vestry know if there is anything you wish to place on the agenda.

The Gate Foodbank  

There is a basket in the foyer for items such as tinned or dried foods, cereal, toiletries etc. The Gate has enough empty egg boxes now and would like to thank everyone for handing them in.
