Announcement from Peter and Joy

Joy and I would like to announce that Peter will be retiring from being Vicar at St John’s from July this year. We will be moving to Barton Seagrave, a large village near Kettering in Northamptonshire.

It has been wonderful to work and serve with the whole church family and we will take with us some fantastic memories of what God has done in so many people’s lives.

The Wardens will steer the church through the interregnum (the period between one vicar going and another coming), and it will make the opportunity to pray at the APCM in May all the more important.

Please keep Matt and the staff team in your prayers as no doubt there will some extra work to do in the coming months.

Please also pray for the Wardens and the whole church council as they make important decisions about the direction and life of St John’s.

Yours sincerely in Christ

Peter and Joy

Planning your Visit

Welcome from the Vicar

Let me welcome you to St John’s! I am so delighted you have found our web site. 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.

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

Revd. Peter Breckwoldt
