If you go down to St John’s one day …
We are running a Teddy Bears’ Picnic for the local community on Sunday 29th June from 2pm to 4pm in the hall and grounds at St John’s.
It is open to everyone and admission is free to all bears and cuddly toys, if accompanied by a child (or children) and a responsible adult. There will be light refreshments, outdoor games, a penalty shoot-out, crafts and much more.
The Daydream Believers singing group will be providing entertainment. The picnic will be opened by the Reverend Teddy Bear and closed by our very own St-John, the Prayer Bear. Don’t miss this event. If you want to help, please speak to Reverend Debra.
Confirmation at St Mary’s
On Sunday 22nd June, at 6.30pm, it’s the Confirmation Service for our Mission Community at St Mary’s Church Davyhulme.
We have a candidate being confirmed, so please come along and support Hannah on this next step in her faith journey. It is a very special day – do join us to support her. There will be refreshments at St Mary’s after the service.

Licensing of Rev Debra Blair as Incumbent of St John's

Join the JC Squad!
'The J C Squad' is the new name for our Sunday School, and it runs at 10.30am during morning service. Children rejoin their parents in church at the end of the main service and often share with the whole congregation something of what they've been doing that day.
