Welcome to St John’s Church
St John's is open on Wednesday mornings from 9.30am to 11.30am for private prayer.
From the beginning of August there will be a service of Morning Prayer at 11am every Wednesday.
We hope to open for Sunday services in September and will make a decision nearer the time.
Meanwhile we will be continuing to post Acts of Worship for Sunday here on our website, our Churchnearyou page https://www.achurchnearyou.com/church/16806/, and on our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/StJohnsChurchNewportIsleOfWight/.
We are not taking bookings for the hall or the church at present. This will be reveiwed at the PCC meeting at the beginning of September.
We will continue to update members of the congregation by email and post the latest emails here too. To receive these emails please use the form lower down this page.

A prayer for all those affected by coronavirus
Keep us, good Lord,
under the shadow of your mercy.
Sustain and support the anxious,
be with those who care for the sick,
and lift up all who are brought low;
that we may find comfort
knowing that nothing can separate us from your love
in Christ Jesus our Lord.
