St John's July ECO Church 


Wonders of Gods Creation


Suggested  summer reading challenge for July

AIM: to inform ourselves about something to do with our care for our God’s creation.



  •  "How Bad are Bananas" by Mike Berners-Lee . I haven’t read it yet but a quick flip through suggests it is very readable in bite-size sections. 
  • "Entangled Life" by Merlin Sheldrake . It’s a fascinating book but much ‘heavier’, I have managed two chapters, but that’s ok. You can learn a lot from two chapters. 


Or any other book you read over the summer that informs, inspires or motivates you about our natural world. It would be great to hear your opinion on our Facebook page, whether it’s one chapter or a whole book.

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

Room Bookings: Some rooms are available for hire - see our page on Room Bookings.  All bookings can be made through the Church Office.
