New Member Joins Parochial Church Council

We're pleased to welcome Kevin Metcalfe as a new member of the Parochial Church Council following the September 1st meeting.

Kevin, who has served our church community as a Church Army Officer for several years, explained that his Licensed Lay Worker status had always entitled him to join the PCC in an ex-officio capacity, though he only discovered this opportunity five years into his ministry here.

The timing felt right for Kevin to step forward now, particularly as he has recently taken on leadership of the Preschool Committee following Peter's retirement. Kevin expressed his enthusiasm for contributing to the governance of our church and bringing his experience to the Council's important work.

Chair Stuart Hull welcomed Kevin to the team, and we look forward to benefiting from his insights and dedication in this new role.

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
