We would like to recruit a female leader for CYFA, our 14-18s work. Could you serve in this way?

We are in great need of a female leader in order to keep running the group in September. We would like someone to join us who is a committed Christian and could help with leading the group, along with Si Walker and the two other team members. Responsibilities include: helping to organise sessions, contributing to some of the teaching (for which we can provide assistance if needed) and helping with pastoral care for the young people.

We meet on Sunday evenings, 6.30-8.30pm (although there may be more online meetings in the future, initially).

We would like to emphasise that there is no age requirement, and we would welcome interest from those who may not have done youth work for some years. Or you may not have done youth work before, but feel up for a new challenge.

For an informal conversation, please get in touch with Si Walker (contact details). The role is voluntary and subject to our safe recruitment policy and DBS, as laid out in our Safeguarding Policy.

Prayer Meeting

In times of uncertainty, especially now that we have been told to stay at home, we have to draw strength from our heavenly Father. The best way to do this is to continue to meet up remotely and pray with one another. To this end, we are going to see if we can hold a prayer meeting via the online platform, Zoom. Everyone is welcome to join in, all you need is access to the zoom app (smartphone, iPad or laptop) and pray with us in the comfort of your own home. We plan to have a a prayer session every Sunday at 8:30 pm. If you are interested in joining us, please contact Fergus, Si or Nigel.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) Update

Update: The St John's Continuity Plan is now available.

In the light of the Prime Minister's speech yesterday, and a letter from Bishop James just now, we are cancelling Sunday services and meetings in general. Do pass this word around to make sure everyone hears. Many things in church life can be carried on through phone, social media and the church website and I hope these will develop and be helpful to us all. Pastorally we need to do all we can to care for those who will feel most deeply this general social distancing. Please don't hesitate to email or phone me or Si.

"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever . . . For here we do not have an enduring city, but we are looking for the city that is to come. Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips that openly profess his name. And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased." (Hebrews 13:8, 14-16)

There is a 'St John's continuity plan' which PCC members have received; a briefer version of it will be posted here tomorrow and updated as developments occur.
