Sundays at St John's
Programme for May 2025: 'Perspectives on the Resurrection'
Theme: Easter is not merely a single day of celebration; it is intended to be a fifty-day journey dedicated to reflecting on the resurrection and its profound implications for our faith.
Throughout this series, we will delve into the true meaning of resurrection, exploring its roots in the Old Testament and how the resurrection of Jesus leads to the promise of resurrection for all who belong to Him. As Christians, we often underestimate the importance of resurrection as a recurring theme throughout the Bible. In this series, we aim to address this oversight by uncovering the clarity, direction, purpose, and power that the resurrection offers to the lives of all who follow Jesus.
- Sunday 4th May: Jenny Hutchinson on Elisha raises the Woman of Shunem’s son (2 Kings 4.8-37)
- Sunday 11th May: Philip Uren on The Valley of the Dry Bones (Ezekiel 37.1-14)
- Sunday 18th May (and Holy Communion): Stephen Kuhrt on Resurrection of Those who Belong to Jesus (1 Corinthians 15.20-58)
- Sunday 25th May: Jin Sung Hwang on Raising of Lazarus (John 11)
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.
