Adam Field – is going to the World Scout Jamboree 2027 in Poland. Adam Field successfully completed his 71-mile bike ride from the ‘City to the Sea’ last weekend – Saturday 23rd May, supporting his fundraising for attending the World Scout Jamboree in the August 2027. All went well despite the warm conditions. The last stretch in particular was tough against a sea breeze. A huge thank you to everyone who has so generously donated and supported. We had at least one supporter per mile, which really helped encourage him. The cake sale on 17th May raised over £350, and the overall fundraising total stands at £2,343 (74% of the total needed) which is just amazing. There’s an update and photos from the ride on the GoFundMe page. Thank you again! Sponsor here, or find him after the service: https://gofund.me/da9f01387

Messy Church: Our next Messy Church session is on Saturday 6 June, when we’ll be thinking about how we might be salt and light in the world. Children and families welcome, do join us from 3-4.30pm for activities, craft and food.

IF YOU ARE NEW to St John’s or even if you have been attending for a little while, we would like to welcome you with coffee and cake on Saturday 13th June between 10 am and midday. This will be a chance to meet a few people informally, find out a little about the church, climb the bell tower (from the inside!), discover who’s who, what we do and ask questions if you want. There is no need to book a place, just turn up. We’re looking forward to meeting you.
