Welcome

Welcome to St. John’s Church, Southbourne, a friendly community of people following Jesus, who look forward to welcoming you on a Sunday or during the week. There is lots going on for all ages, with many groups and activities for children. In the ‘Headlines’ box you’ll find a link to this week’s newsletter and all the latest information.

If you would like any more information, please do not hesitate to get in touch with the Church office. The church building is currently only open when services or other activities are taking place. If you would like to visit, please contact us to arrange a convenient date and time.

In our morning services we are currently reading through Romans. Click here for the guide to use in homegroups or for personal study. (When the file opens, use the top menu to print, download or save).

A letter from our vicar for August:

Welcome to our news sheet for August, this covers the whole of this month with an overview of what’s happening. So that you know what is happening in terms of Church services, I will lay that out below:

10am Sunday Services continue as normal.

4pm All-age services take a break, apart from Sunday 11th August with a new mid-summer special.

6.30pm Communion on the 1st Sunday in August, and Online Prayer on the 2nd Sunday continue. (Holy Presence and the in-church prayer meeting return in September).

9.30am Wednesday Communion continues each week.

Please see the other events happening in August, including garden get-togethers and refreshments outside the centre on Tuesday mornings.

If you are visiting us on a Sunday, please ask the welcome team for a welcome pack and prayer is usually available after our services. Our aim is: ‘Together, to make Jesus known.’ We would love the chance to get to know you and share more of the life and faith of our church.

God bless, Tom
