Bereavement Service - Sunday 22nd November, 3.30pm 

We will be holding a bereavement service on Sunday 22 November. Whether you have lost a loved one recently or 50 years ago you are welcome to come to remember and celebrate the lives of those who have died. It will be a quiet & reflective service with music, poetry, prayer and teaching from God’s Word in the service. There will be the opportunity to have your loved one’s name read out and to light a candle if either of those things would be helpful to you, but it is your choice.
 
We will be having tea and cake in the conservatory after the service so it will be helpful if you let Gillian Mannouch know if you will be coming and please give the name of your loved one in advance to Gillian, if you would like their name read out. Contact Gillian Mannouch on 07794 586608 or by email to gillian@stjohnswimborne.org.uk

Planning your Visit

Welcome to St John's Church!

We are so delighted that you have found our website. We are a Church family in Wimborne for anyone living, working or studying around this area. Whoever you are, whatever your age, whether you’re an experienced Christian or not, we would love you to join us.

From an intrigued onlooker to the committed follower we are keen that everyone should grow in relationship with God through knowing Jesus. To help us do that our emphasis is on hearing God speak to us by his Holy Spirit through his word, the Bible. Each of us knows that we only grow in a relationship with someone and get to know them when we spend time listening to them and responding and reacting to what they say. So the focus of St John’s is on listening to God’s word, talking to him in prayer and taking up all that he says.

The Church family here at St John’s longs to help anyone who wants to investigate the life of Jesus. On this site you will find people, meetings, talks and events shaped to help you take another step forward in finding out more about God and his love for us in Jesus, and to help you get linked into the church family life.

We hope to have the opportunity to meet you personally in the very near future and that you will quickly feel at home at St John’s.

Our new Vicar, Revd Tim Partridge, joins us at the end of October - it will be a pleasure to welcome him, his wife Abby, and their three children to the church family.

Nigel Day and Paul Wareham (Churchwardens)
