Creation Care: Laura's Autumn Diary

 

How was Wimborne Green Festival?
It’s a chilly, drizzly morning. I helped Mummy dress me and overheard her talk to Daddy about this year’s Wimborne Green Festival.
They didn’t manage to buy apple juice this year (sold at their Apple Pressing event in the town square). Oh, they are so delicious!
We couldn’t attend this year’s talk, but Mummy still feels passionate about last year’s. She pulls out the flyer and says, ‘That TV presenter (Patrick Grant) had a lot to say about clothes: how many we buy, what they are made from, and who made them’.
Hmm.. I look at what I’m wearing today. My hat, scarf, coat, dress and even wellies are second-hand or even third-hand. Perhaps we could do better by owning fewer things and avoiding polyester?

What did you discover at the festival? How has it affected you? We would love to hear from you.

If you missed it, browse the programme anyway and perhaps come along next year!

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.
