Sunday 27 September – Harvest Festival
We’re celebrating Harvest! We’d love everyone to express their gratitude to God by making a donation to the Essential Supplies scheme organised by Fareham Borough Council. There are drop off points at many local supermarkets, at Acts of Kindness collections points and at Waypoint Church. Find out more here: https://www.fareham.gov.uk/coronavirus/donations.aspx
Because of Covid restrictions we are not organising a collection of donations at St John’s this year.
This will also be Rev. Gavin Fosters last Sunday as the Vicar of St John’s so they’ll be some ‘extras’ in the service, as we say are goodbyes.
4th October 2020, 12:30pm
Our curate, Mike Moritz, will be ordained on the 4th October, and while we have to keep attendence limited inside the church (invitation only) we will all be able to share in this important part of Mike’s journey through livestream on our YouTube channel
