Saturday 18th September

From 10.00 am to 12.30 pm.

Please join us for coffee from 10.00 am and we will start at 10.30

The morning will offer an opportunity to step aside from busyness, to reflect, and to be still.

It will be led by Susan Oakes, a spiritual director who leads silent retreats (at Penhurst retreat centre), quiet days and was formerly part of the Ways into Prayer group, an ecumenical group set up by the Anglican Diocese of Southwark.

She currently offers silent prayer on Monday evenings at St John’s Selsdon

You do not need to book, but please do contact Susan if you are interested in joining so that we have an idea of numbers – susanoakes@hotmail.co.uk 07941 937979

Breakfast Sundays

It is hoped that Breakfast Sundays can be restarted in the next few weeks, but as it has been a long time since we had to ‘close down’ we need to try and get an idea of how many would be interested in joining us.

There is a list at the back of the church which we would be grateful if you could sign up to if you are likely to come or may be interested in coming sometimes. Breakfast is usually on the first Sunday of each month after the 8 O’clock service.

Thank you

The Breakfast team

In memory of Daniel Spargo-Mabbs

Daniel attended Archbishop Tenisons CE School from year 7 but when he was 16 years old Daniel died after taking MDMA. Some of the teacher’s at Tenison’s are supporting the Daniel Spargo-Mabbs Foundation by ‘jumping out of a plane’ alongside Daniel’s brother Jacob, to raise as much money as they can.

St John’s has always had a close relationship with Archbishop Tenison’s school and would be grateful for any support that can be offered. Attached are the details of the charity and how to donate. Any cash can be given to Penny Cook who will be more than happy to pass it onto Andrew Cook who teaches at Tenisons.
