King's Oak School Year 1 Advent Service - Friday 6th December
Dave Pamphilon, Linda Kelleyand Debbie Nejand explained what 'Advent' meant to the Year 1 school children from King's Oak School, with volunteers welcoming the children and helping with the audio-visual equipment.
Christmas Fair - Saturday 23rd November
A massive 'Thank You' to all who were involved in the planning and helped on the day! We are sure you will agree that all the hard work will have been worthwhile. It is impossible to thank everyone individually, so please accept this as a corporate 'well done' - and we hope you had a good time!
Christmas Services at St John's
December 2024 Sermon Series: What to look out for this Christmas?
The approach of another Christmas can mean the arrival of more that is familiar than new. But there are always fresh aspects of God coming into the world in Jesus for us to grasp and live out. As we prepare for the coming of Jesus this Advent, we will consider what things Isaiah, Matthew, Luke and John want us to look out for this Christmas.
This week (Sunday 8th December) Stephen Kuhrt will be speaking on 'What does Isaiah want us to look out for this Christmas?'
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 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
