In June we launched a major consultation inviting all members of the St John’s Church family – old and young, male and female, committed and fringe, long-standing members and newcomers alike – to share your thoughts and help to shape St John’s for The Future.

With the gradual lifting of lockdown restrictions and the return to a new kind of normality, it is time to ask: how can we most effectively reach our community with the good news of God’s love in a post-lockdown world?
