Mothers’ Union
Meets on the third Wednesday of each month from 11:15am. We are linked to the world wide organisation of MU whose aims are to support family life and to encourage people in the Christian faith. Meetings may include prayer, guest speakers, bible studies, singalongs and other activities. We are a small, friendly and mostly older group, welcoming members and visitors alike.

Environment
St John’s is committed to care and respect for the environment as God’s creation. Projects such as our Solar Panel Array and Recycling Program are practical signs of this. There are containers at the back of the church for the general public to place items for recycling, such as used printer cartridges and computer consumables, old spectacles, used stamps, used batteries, etc.
