Please speak to Stuart or any member of the Vestry if there is anything you wish to place on the agenda. An updated list of Vestry members is on our website and on the main notice board in the church.

“Tai Chi Café” The Tai Chi Cafe will meet on Thursday, 26th February at 2pm. for more information, contact Laurene MacKenzie at taichicafe@warpmail.net 

Bell Ringers If anyone is interested in learning bell-ringing, please speak to Stuart first, if you haven’t already expressed an interest.

Flowers There is now a diary on the table next to the kitchen if you wish to add a date for flowers for a special occasion or in memory of a loved one.  Please speak to Daphne or Janice if you’d like to donate to the flower fund or would like a specific type of flower in the display.

Do you have sewing skills? We have some beautiful Altar Frontals here at St John’s.  They are in need of some TLC.  It would cost at least £2000 each to have them professionally repaired, which we can’t afford.  Could a small group of us get our heads together to see if we can do some careful repairs?  Please speak to Pam if you could be part of a team to help with this and we’ll meet up to discuss ideas and the way forward.

Rotas If you’d like to help with Welcoming, Refreshments or Collection Counting please speak to Angela.  If you would like to do Readings, Intercessions or Chalice, please speak to Stuart.

Fellowship Group The next meeting of the Fellowship Group will take place on Tuesday 10th March from 1.30-3.30pm.  Please come along for a warm welcome, a cuppa and good company.

Spring Cleaning – Saturday 14th March There will be a church spring cleaning day on Saturday 14th March from 10.30am.  As usual tea, coffee and cake will be provided but please bring your own packed lunch.  All help is greatly appreciated.
