FAQs

I’m just visiting – can I still take communion?
 

Yes - come to the Lord’s table, it is He that invites you. Receive bread and wine in faith.

 
If you would prefer to receive a blessing rather than bread and wine, that's totally fine! Keep your hands by your side or ask for ‘a blessing please’ when you come forward.

A gluten free bread is available - just ask when you come forward to receive.

 
What do I wear?

Whatever you want!

Can I sit anywhere?

Absolutely! Just find a spot where you feel comfortable and enjoy.

Is there parking?

Unfortunately St John's doesn't have a car park, but we are surrounded by roads with plenty of free parking. Please be aware that there are restrictions on the parking spaces directly opposite the church gates. If you want to know more about accessibility to church, click here.

What kind of music is there?

Our 11am Holy Communion service includes singing both traditional and contemporary hymns. Zest features modern worship music, plus a regular live band. 

Will my children be welcome?

Absolutely, we are a church community of all ages! 


Is there coffee afterwards?

Tea, coffee and soft drinks are available in the Parish Room between 10.15 and 11am in the Parish Room, after the Zest service and before the Holy Communion service! It is a great way to get to know members of the church in a relaxed atmosphere.
