St John’s Mission Statement

This mission statement was agreed by the Parochial Church Council in 2003 and continues to guide the church’s development.

We are a Christian community that:

  • seeks to place the worship of God at the heart of all its activities
  • rejoices in the fellowship that is our inheritance as members of the body of Christ expressed in love and mutual support
  • participates openly and honestly in learning about our common Christian journey so that we may be better equipped to share the good news of Jesus Christ with our local and wider community
  • recognises the importance of biblical teaching as a foundation for spiritual growth
  • wants to engage creatively, through practical service, with the community of Meads, winning the right to tell people about the Gospel

Our aspiration is to establish a church that:

  • reflects its local community in all its ages and social groupings
  • creates windows of opportunity for individuals to meet with God
  • is a happy, stimulating and spiritually alive place where everyone is welcomed and feels valued
  • is also a place where something of the holiness of God is felt
  • has the character of a family that cares for each age group
  • offers healing and reconciliation with the challenge of spiritual growth for every member of the community
  • listens to God

ANNUAL CHURCH MEETINGS
These will take place on Tuesday 13 April, at 7pm in the Parish Hall.
The Annual Parish Meeting, at which the Churchwardens are elected, will be followed immediately by the Annual Parochial Church Meeting, which reviews the past year at St John's, approves the financial reports and holds any elections needed. All members of the church are encouraged to attend.

The MOVEMENT TO MUSIC CLASS for adults is proving so popular that it has transferred to a larger space at the back of the Church: Tuesday mornings, 10.30 - 11.30am. The classes are free and open to anyone who'd like to join in. If you're interested, please phone the Church Office for more information (01323 738671).

The ELECTORAL ROLL is being updated. The current roll is on display in the cloisters and in the back of the church. If your name isn't on it, but you'd like to be added, please fill up a form and hand it in; you are eligible to join if you live in the parish or have worshipped at St John's for the last 6 months. If your name is already on the current roll, you don't have to fill up another form.
