Welcome to St. Johns

Our vision

Together with God to build a church for tomorrow’s challenges and today’s needs. As part of this vision, to support the wider church.

Why?
Our church family is growing in many ways. We are committed to further growth, At the Church we need more space and improved facilities to accommodate this. [please see the Artist’s impression of the Church and extension, below left.]

How will we achieve this?

We will build an extension behind the church to provide: [please see below, Left, an Artist’s impression of the church and extension, space for our Junior Church groups to meet as part of the church family coming together for worship

a space for informal worship at church

more space for robing and preparation

enhanced toilet and kitchen facilities

Overflow space for specail services

We will renovate the Church Hall to provide: [ please see below, Right, the proposed Extension and Improvements.]

a meeting room with separate facilities (to allow two events to take place at once)

improved disabled access

better toilet and kitchen facilities

As a result of these changes, St. John’s will be more available to all, young and old, able bodied or disabled.

Supporting Others through the Parish Building Appeal.

“Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me.”

These words are taken from Jesus’ parable of the sheep and the goats in which Jesus points us to the importance of caring for those who are destitute and in great need.

In some parts of the world such need is on a different scale. In cities in India, poverty can devastate people’s lives. The Delhi Brotherhood works with the physically disabled, young boys who are orphans, girls whose lives are affected by HIV and AIDS young adults with little or no skill, abused children and women.

We were fortunate to welcome Father Monodeep Daniel to our parish earlier in the year when he spoke movingly of the work of the Delhi Brotherhood at our Christian Aid service.

As we consider our need for more space and improved facilities we need to remember that there are those in the world who have no buildings to modify.

We pledge to give ten percent of the appeal target to the Delhi Brotherhood as it works to improve the lives and life chances of some of the most vulnerable people in the world.
