First Sunday of every month, 5:30–7:30pm


As evening falls and the light softens, our church fills with the gentle glow of candles, quiet music, and a sense of stillness. Candlenights is a space to pause — to breathe, to pray, to reflect, and to simply be.


Each first Sunday of the month, from 5:30–7:30pm, the doors of St John’s are open for anyone who wishes to step out of the noise of the week and into a place of calm. Whether you come for five minutes or stay for the whole two hours, you’re welcome just as you are.


There’s no formal service, no expectation to speak or participate — simply a peaceful, sacred atmosphere shaped by candlelight, gentle music, and the quiet presence of others doing the same. Some choose to sit in stillness, others light a candle, catch up with your writing, read a book, remember loved ones, or wander quietly in the space.


In the glow of many small flames, we are reminded that even the smallest light can hold back the darkness.


Come as you are. Come and rest.
Candlenights – the first Sunday of every month, 5:30–7:30pm at St John’s.

An Evening Magdalen Fellowship

31/7/2025

0 Comments

 
This is a new project that I’m super excited for ! Loneliness is an epidemic recognised to be sweeping across the globe, so we are hosting an evening Magdalen Fellowship, once a month on the third Sunday. You’re invited to come from 5.30 and bring your supper or join us for a cup of tea and chat, fellowship is what this group excels at. Well, that, and silence. Give yourself a little peace as the leader lulls you into a gentle Christian meditation, or contemplative prayer. Everyone is invited, we have folk join the fellowship from all denominations and across the region. This extra group is especially looking to welcome those who are busy in the week and would enjoy some time of peace. Please do join us !.
