Rest in peace
We were saddened to learn of the death of Joan Brunt on 11 December. Joan was a good and faithful servant of the church – both at St John's and across the whole team.
Funeral arrangements will be announced when available.
May dear Joan rest in peace and rise in glory. We pray that the loving embrace of our Lord surrounds Michael, Tim, Alison, the wider Brunt family and all who mourn her passing.
