Women's Breakfast 
The next St John's Church women's breakfast will take place THIS Saturday 9.30-11am. Frankie Knight will be our guest speaker, looking at the subject of how God doesn't change (and why that's a good thing) and how we do change (and why that's a good thing!).
Frankie has been involved in schools ministry and student ministry in the past, and is now a full-time mum to baby Jonah. Her husband Joel is the minister of a church in Wokingham.
Do come and join us as we spend time together over a delicious bacon breakfast, singing, praying and listening to a talk.
No need to book; no entry fee but small donations towards food costs welcome.

St John's Online
Starting 2nd February, St John’s Online is looking forward to digging into Paul’s spectacular epistle to the Ephesians with its next series.  Every chapter of this letter yields fresh treasure! This is our first non-video led series, using instead the Good Book Guide 'Ephesians: Your place in God’s Plan' by Richard Coekin, available on Amazon and where Christian books are sold.
All are warmly welcome to join!  We meet Monday evenings, 8 - 9pm, via the Zoom link on the Church website or using the link above.
