Kermesse, A huge thank you to everyone for making the Kermesse such a success.
A core group put in a huge amount of work,
and so many others chipped in as they could.
Thank you! It was wonderful to see the church alive with the doors open
and feel the welcome on offer! We raised over 4,000€ too!
God has richly blessed us!
Bishop's Lent Appeal 2025
https://www.europe.anglican.org/news/latest-news/bishops-lent-appeal-2025
Donation baskets at the back of the church with more details. Please give generously.
This appeal is a partnership between the Diocese in Europe and USPG. It is helping to provide essential care and support for Ukrainian refugees spread across Europe. Families are left with vivid memories of the traumatic events leading them to where they are now. Your support can bring a touch of peace and security to their lives. Beyond meeting immediate needs, this appeal will continue to go towards providing long-term support, helping refugees build new lives in foreign lands. Support workers and volunteers working in projects offer emotional and pastoral care, creating opportunities for refugees to gather, learn and be creative together. Many refugees have shared what they’ve learned with others, creating a network of support and empowerment within the displaced community. The journey of refugees is far from over, and the work we support is a lifeline for so many who have lost everything. This Lent we ask you to help us continue our mission to provide safety, care, and hope to families displaced by war or other tragedies.
St John's Jazz, Friday 02 May, tickets 15€ at the door.

I did it!
I walked 107 miles (172km) on the Portuguese Camino, to a very special
destination. It was difficult sometimes, but I was with wonderful people and met others.
There was lots of laughter and many acts of kindness along the way, from fellow pilgrims and local residents. A big Thank you to everyone who donated.
Buen Camino. Jacqui
