Special Services
Messy Church, a different kind of church, reaching people perhaps on the 'edge' of church, where Jesus spent most of his ministry - not in the religious centre of Jerusalem but on the messy fringes of Jewish society. It is about creativity, celebration and hospitality and includes songs, a story, crafts and a meal for all the family. There are 4 Messy Church events per year which will be advertised in the live newsfeed.
St John's will hold services to mark special dates in the Christian calendar. These include Christmas morning, Ash Wednesday, Maundy Thursday and Good Friday. See the news page for advanced information.
