We welcome and encourage all people to worship God with us. St John's is part of the Merton Priory Team Ministry. Whether or not you are new to the area, you are most welcome to join us in our acts of worship and share in our Anglican tradition.

God in the Pub
The next God in the Pub is on Sunday, 7 September at 7.30 p.m. in The Sultan. Alison (at her last GitP with the team) will be leading the session – all are welcome.
(17 August 2025)
Prayers for the clergy
Please keep all our clergy in your prayers: Mark as he is currently one of the two Acting Archdeacons during Simon Gates' sabbatical (1 September to 15 December), Alison as she prepares for retirement, and Mary as she continues to settle into our parish.
(7 September 2025)
Alison's retirement
Earlier this year it was announced that Alison would be retiring in the autumn. Her last Sunday with us will be 5 October. Alison has been Team Vicar since 2016 and although she is based at Christ Church and St John's, she was a great support during the Team Rector vacancy, and her ministry will be missed by the whole team.
If you would like to contribute towards a gift for Alison, please see any of the Churchwardens to make a cash or contactless contribution.
