St John's and Kiltermon

  Fellowship Evenings 4 evenings are planned to help promote and develop discipleship in our lives. I’ve learned that during lockdown that even when all structures are set aside,  a living relationship continues between every believer and the Lord.  Learning to pay attention to that relationship is at the heart of following Jesus.  And when each of us is strengthened, the Church is stronger. And realising that we benefit from the support of others,  four evenings are planned with worship, Bible readings,  prayer and special guest speakers.  Our last evening saw 25 gather,  so together we can hope to build that fellowship.  Email us at the parish and request the link for each evening.  You are very welcome to join us.

Some things you can’t argue with, only smile, and wait. This year, lambs et al, Easter has settled itself into a great weekend. Daffodils and Spring bulbs are in their prime, lawns are possibly on their second cut, and there is a readiness for the holidays weekend. Families are ready for the break from home schooling, and ...
