A thriving community
St John’s has a thriving community of ‘Seniors’ who love to share life together.
We want to see the older generations flourish later in life, through experiencing new opportunities, developing close friendships, and providing general and spiritual support. Here at St John’s, we prioritise pastoral visits to ensure that people feel supported through the different seasons of their life. You would be more than welcome to join us on a Sunday or at any of our midweek gatherings.
Midweek service
Thursday weekly (excluding August) | 10.30 - 11.15 | St John’s
Each week we run a quieter service arranged with the needs of older people in mind. The service is under an hour and is suitable for those who may find the longer Sunday gatherings difficult. Midweek service is followed by refreshments. On the third Thursday of each month we also share Holy Communion together. Transport may be able to be arranged by contacting our Pastor for Older People, Catriona Foster.
Small groups
A fantastic way to get stuck into St John’s is to join a small group. This is a place to get to know people better. Check out our small groups page to find out how to join one.
Support
We often journey alongside people who have dementia, giving them and their families support. Our Seniors Pastor, Catriona, regularly goes into a local Residential Home, leading a service for those with dementia.
