Join us this summer as we unpack the Lord’s Prayer and learn what it means to pray with faith, confidence, and purpose. Everyone is welcome. Bring your family, friends, and neighbours!
“You’d be very welcome at our Young Adults Summer Meet-Up. It’s a great chance to meet new people, make friends, and spend time with others your age. We’d love to see you there with us in St John’s Church hall on Friday 21st August, from 6:00pm to 8:00pm.
Can you help spread the word? If you know a young adult who might enjoy a friendly and welcoming evening out, we’d love you to personally invite them to our Summer Meet-Up. A simple conversation, text message, or invitation from someone they know can make all the difference. Please keep our young adults in your prayers and help us encourage them to get connected and build friendships within our church family.
Alpha Starts Tuesday 22 September 2026
Would you like to come to Alpha?
We have two Alpha courses starting on Tuesday 22 September 2026:
- Alpha@11.30am (daytime)
- Alpha@7.00pm (evening)
Alpha is a place to meet new people, enjoy refreshments, watch a short video, and talk honestly about life, faith and meaning in a friendly and relaxed environment.
Perhaps you have questions about the Christian faith, or would simply like to explore life’s big questions. If so, Alpha could be for you.
Do you know someone who might be interested? Why not invite them along, or better still, come with them and share the experience together.
You can book your place here Daytime Alpha@11.30 or Evening Alpha@7
The Salvation Army is looking for some extra volunteers to help support the Woodbridge Foodbank as there are very few people helping now. If you can spare a few hours, either regularly or occasionally, your help would make a real difference. Please consider volunteering or contacting us to find out more about how you can support this important work.
