Funerals
It is always a privilege to help people in the joys and sorrows of life. When some one you love has died it can be a difficult time. At St John's we try to help people after someone has died in the planning of a funeral. The funeral can be in church at the crematorium or by the graveside. If you would like to look at what is involved in planning a funeral please contact churchwarden as above or look at the Church of England's helpful website by clicking the logo below.

To find out more about the Christian Faith we commend to you 'REJESUS'
Rejesus is a web site endorsed by mainstream Christian denominations in the UK. Rejesus has a single focus - it goes to the very heart of Christian life and faith - the person of Jesus Christ himself. Its aim is to reach people who have little previous knowledge of Jesus or the Christian faith and to encourage a step or two of faith. Why don't you try it and see? |
