There will be a special service at 8pm on Thursday 17th May at 8pm to celebrate Ascension Day. The service will be a sung Eucharist.
Ascension Day commemorates the bodily Ascension of Jesus into Heaven and is celebrated 40 days after Easter. Our model of the Easter Garden, which has been tended since Good Friday, will now be removed to remind us of the Ascension.
The Service is open to all. |

Daily prayer intentions are distributed with St John's News with some prayers that might be used. The latest prayer list is attached. |

One of St John’s priorities for its parish vision is connected with the fight for climate justice. The statement reads that our church is ‘passionate about global justice, peace and the sustainability of our planet’. In working towards these goals St John’s will be supporting the ‘Time for Climate Justice’ campaign which is championed by a number of global Christian groups and charities including Christian Aid.
Following the talk by Hannah Brooks on 15th May, there will be a number of activities going on in Sunday School and Pathfinders and a number of competitions will be launched within the Church in order to raise awareness of the campaign. Then, later in the summer we hope to organise a walk to raise awareness of the issue of climate change and the action that we can all take in order to work towards living more sustainable lives.
If you are interested in doing more to support this movement at St John’s then please contact Hannah Brooks 07976309668
You can also visit the Time for Climate Justice website - climatejusticeonline.org or Christian Aid’s website and click on ‘Act Now!’ and then ‘Climate Justice’.

The new Communications Group has suggested that the website be re-organised to help newcomers to find the information they need. I will be making some changes to the menus over the next few weeks. I hope this will not cause inconvenience to anyone.

Following the informative talk given last Sunday by Pat Hallett from BAF - Bracknell Area Foodbank - there has been a great deal of interest from the congregation. In order for St John's to help support this initiative there will be a red box in the foyer next Sunday and we would kindly ask that our parishioners/families would purchase one extra staple item per month and place it in the box. We are setting up a rota for 12 people (one per month) to drive and deliver the contents of the box to the Kerith Centre in Bracknell at the beginning of every month. Please sign up on the rota, also above the box if you can help deliver to our neighbours in need. Thank you.
