Ride and Stride

Thank you for joining us on St Johns Ride & Stride on Saturday and which I hope you all enjoyed. There were 30 of us riding with 15 for each of the two rides of 10 & 26 miles. An amazing turn out this year.
A great day together with good weather & some great conversations. Our God is very gracious!

We had a great team supporting this: Tim & Ben leading the 2 rides, John & Debbie trialling them a couple of weeks in advance and sorting the required Risk Assessment, Alan available as the emergency vehicle, a team at the church to welcome the visitors who arrived there with refreshments. I think for many of us the welcome and refreshments we received was one of the highlights of the day! Thank you all.

Two things to ask in completing things please:

If you borrowed a church yellow hi vis jacket would you either return this to me on Sunday morning at church or deliver to the church office before then, please.
If you have not yet made a gift to the charity it would be great if you could do this – the amount does not matter, and you can avoid paying JustGiving if you enter a zero in the right place.

If you haven’t yet sponsored the ride this is your chance by clicking the link: sponsor the St John's team by donating to our JustGiving page HERE

Very many thanks & I hope that you will join us 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.
