Dates for your diary
Sunday 13th January 10 am Village Praise
Changes to Services
From Sunday 6th January 2019 the Sunday service will be held at 10 am each week. There will be a sung communion service on the 1st, 3rd and 5th Sundays of each month. On the 2nd and 4th Sunday we will have a Village Praise service for the whole congregation, ending with a short spoken communion for those who wish to stay on for that.
Choir
The choir would like to welcome new members. There is no requirement to be able to read music. There must be a willingness to regularly attend choir practices. If you are interested please speak to Moira. Choir practice is held on Mondays at 7.15 pm in the Church Hall.
Waterside Food Bank
We have received a big thank you from the Food Bank stating that St John’s have donated 368.6kg food in 2017/18, equivalent to providing 1141 meals! In total, in 2017/18, the Waterside Foodbank have provided food for 2320 people which is fantastic, but sad at the same time. The details are on the noticeboard and there are also copies of the Newsletter there. Thank you so much for your continuing support. Every small item counts and it is so needed. Jan
