Wimborne Green Festival - 11th-18th October

St John’s in the community
Many of the church family are involved in our community in a variety of ways as individuals, but one of the things we do ‘officially’ as St John’s Church every year is to have a 35-strong team apple pressing on the Minster Green on the opening day of the Wimborne Green Festival (Saturday 11th October this year). And very popular it is too! From donations received last year, we were able to give around £200 to the Food Bank. We hope to see you there.

The Green Festival is a week of events (11th-18th October) designed to encourage and equip us all to live more sustainably, so for Christians, to better care for God’s creation. While not a Christian event, this year’s Festival theme of ‘greener consumption’ ties in perfectly with Jesus’ words that ‘life does not consist in an abundance of possessions’, and the biblical teaching to ‘be content with what you have’. So – a great opportunity for conversations connecting our faith to a community activity!

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
