The way forward for St John's
We are establishing a working group with representatives from all three churches to look at the growth of St John's and future team working. We want to discern the best way forward for St John's and look at how our governance and structures could be constituted to make us more efficient, collaborative and effective to serve God's mission in our parish. If you are interested in joining this group, please speak to the clergy or churchwardens.
