Dr Hugh O'Connor

We wanted to let you know that our beloved Hugh, our wonderful husband, Dad, grandad and father in law waved us all goodbye this morning (Tuesday 24th) and peacefully headed off to heaven.

We are all feeling very sad, but feeling grateful and blessed that we have been together and we have surrounded him with love and laughter right to the end.

His love and calm, consistent presence has been profound for so many people and we know his legacy will continue.

We continue to feel deeply thankful for our wonderful family and friends, and for the love and support around us. Thank you for keeping all of us, in your thoughts and prayers.

Sending love and a Hugh ‘twinkle’ to you all.

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.
