Sundays at St John's
Lent 2025 Sermon Series - "Repentance"
Lent is traditionally a time of focusing on repentance - the act of 'turning around' towards God. During this series, we’ll look at what we can learn from examples of repentance as a theme that runs throughout the Bible, and explore how we can make it a greater reality in our lives.
The preaching programme is as follows for the remaining weekends in March:
- 23rd March: Phil Hutchinson and 'The Two Sons Who Needed to Repent' (Luke 15.11-32)
- 30th March: Roger Parham and 'Confronting the need to repent' (John 8.1-1).
Our Sunday morning groups for children and young people meet during the service. There is a creche, as well as an opportunity for those of primary or secondary school age to meet together in separate groups. There is also a relaxed space (with toys) for parents or carers with babies or toddlers to sit near the rear of the congregation if they wish.
St John's Prayer Meeting - each Sunday evening in the church lounge at 6.30pm.

St. John's is an evangelical church within the Church of England. We aim to be a welcoming place and to serve our local community. The area around our location in Kingston Road, about half way between Kingston and New Malden, has changed a lot since our church was founded as a tin hut mission church in 1885. But inside our 20th century church building, the strength of commitment is as firm as ever.
At St John's we take the safeguarding and care of children and vulnerable adults very seriously.

The local primary school - Christ Church Primary School was founded and is partly funded by Christ Church and St John’s
