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).

This week’s letter from our vicar for Sunday 28th July:

I’d like to say a huge thank you to everyone who helped with our Church Together Day last Sunday. I’m sorry if you missed it, but it was such an encouraging day that it will be an annual fixture! This Sunday at the 10am service we reach Romans 14 and ask ‘How can we best live together in love?’ There is no 4pm service, but the prayer meeting is 6.30pm in Church, do join us if you can.

If you are visiting us on 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. I won’t be in the Centre over the summer but do feel free to contact me. I will be there with a few others on Tuesday 6th and 13th from 10am, outside and hoping to chat with passers by!

God bless, Tom
