Saturday Morning Coffee

The doors of St. John’s are always open on Saturday  mornings from 10.00am  to 12.00 noon for coffee or tea.  Some people like to combine this with a trip to the town centre or time praying quietly in the Memorial Chapel or Garden of Remembrance.

We meet on the third Friday of the month at 2.30pm in the Church Hall to share fellowship and love with prayers, Bible readings and sometimes a speaker. All ladies are welcome to join us, whether or not they attend St. John's.
