We pray for our NHS, for all afflicted with COVID, for those who have died, for all who grieve, for the roll-out of the vaccine and for one another: O God, make speed to save us; O Lord, make haste to help us.

Katharine von Schubert, Diocesan Mission Enabler, guided some 30–40 church members through a discussion on what is the Church, cultural changes in recent generations, an exercise discerning people's gifts, feedback from the questionnaires that church members completed over the summer, a look at our parish demographic and various key features and communities, and the Five Marks of Mission; we also enjoyed lunch together and had a walk around the immediate St John's area. Our main shared focus for mission across the three churches became how to encourage growth at St John's, namely to grow a thriving congregation serving its local community. A fuller summary can be found in this PDF file.

When it isn't possible to join with the local church,
this outline is designed to help you have a short time of worship as a household.
You are also invited to follow the Royal School of Church Music's Hymn of the Day, and Sunday Self-Service, a simple act of worship with music, readings and prayers which will change weekly. |
The term 'Spiritual Communion' describes the means of grace by which a person, prevented for some serious reason
from sharing in a celebration of the Eucharist, nonetheless shares in the communion of Jesus Christ. You are invited
to join in these prayers
as an opportunity to give thanks for your communion with him while unable to be present at the Eucharist.
