September 2024 Sermon Series: Scenes from Mark's Gospel
We'll be starting a new series of talks on scenes from Mark's gospel during September 2024.
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 8th Sept.), the talk will be speaking on 'Jesus drives out Evil Spirits'. Mark 1:21-39 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.

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.
Further information can be found at Safeguarding
The local primary school - Christ Church Primary School was founded and is partly funded by Christ Church and St John’s
