St John’s Kids, 31 January 2021
Sunday 31 January You can continue to access our digital services here. We are no longer requiring pre-registration for our in-person services – 10am and 5pm. We do still need to maintain electronic records, so scan the QR Code on arrival and enter your details.

St John’s Kids, 10 January 2021
Sunday 10 January: Access our streamed services here. This week’s reading and talk include one of my favourite miracles.
