St John's Sunday Service - 28th May 2023

Please join us on Sunday 28th May for our morning service at 10am in St John's Church. This week, primary-aged children will be going to Holiday Kids, but everyone meets together in church for the first 10 minutes.
We are continuing with our series looking at the letter to the Galatians. This Sunday, Mike will be preaching on Galatians 3:1-14. You can also read this in Traditional Chinese.
There is a small area of seating in church where masks must be worn and seating is distanced. Of course, you are welcome to wear a mask anywhere in the building. If you have COVID, please don't come to church.
We would love to welcome you in the building but, if you can't make it, the service will be available online via our livestream on our YouTube channel. The livestream will start around 9.55am. It's lovely to know who's joining us, so please say hello using YouTube chat.
