October 2024 Sermon Series: Scenes from Mark's Gospel
We'll be continuing our September series of talks on scenes from Mark's gospel.
The book of Mark is the most dramatic of the four gospels, vividly presenting the ministry of Jesus in enigmatic and mysterious ways. During this series, we will look at different sections of the gospel, examining several stories together, and identifying the crucial truths about Jesus and his significance that Mark is seeking to communicate.
This week (Sunday 20th October) Roger Parham will be exploring Jesus and Uncleanliness. Mark 5:21-43 refers.
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.
Our regular Sunday evening prayer meeting has been cancelled for this week (20th Oct.), as a number of us will be attending the Insight Celebration Service. Why not come and join us? The service will take place at The King's Centre, Chessington. There will be an hour of games and activities for those with children which will begin at 5pm. This will be followed at 6pm by an all age service including songs, prayers and a short talk. Everyone is warmly invited to attend, and learn more about the work of Insight in schools in our borough.

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
