Midweek

On Wednesday evenings at St John's we gather for prayer and Bible study. Some weeks we all join together at Prayer Fellowship, and the rest of the time we meet in smaller Housegroups across the parish. 

Our housegroups aim to follow the example of the early church as described in Acts 2.42-47, seeking to be devoted to Scripture, to one other, to meeting together and to evangelism. Here we can study God's Word, pray and care for each other in ways that aren't possible in a large Sunday service. 

If you would like to join a housegroup, please talk to one of the ministers in church or contact the Church Office.

Dates for housegroups and prayer fellowship meetings can be found on the home page of this website.

We are a group of people from St John's and Christ Church who regularly meet to run together, mainly at Delamere or Northwich Parkruns on a Saturday morning. We are a real mix of ages, shapes, sizes and abilities.

Some of us are young and fast, others are a bit older but still fairly fast. And then there are those of us who mainly walk or plod, but still enjoy getting out for some fresh air and exercise. After running, we invariably end up in a cafe enjoying coffee, cake and fellowship together.

If you are not a member of our churches, but have seen us in our bright orange t-shirts, you might be wondering what our faith in God and Jesus have to do with running. As Christians, we believe that our faith plays a part in every aspect of our life, so that includes our health and fitness. The Bible often uses the idea of a race, or running, to illustrate what life with God is like. We are all taking part in a race through life, but the Bible says:

"Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith." Hebrews 12:1-2

Our faith in Jesus enables us to believe in forgiveness through His death on the cross, and that ultimately, at the end of our race through life, we will receive the prize of eternal life.

"Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize?  Run in such a way as to get the prize."  1 Corinthians 9:24

If you would like to know more about what we believe in, or to join us on one of our runs, please This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

Would you like to go for a walk and get some fresh air? We have a group who get together every fortnight on a Thursday, starting at 10am, to walk, enjoy fellowship and chat! If you would enjoy a walk of 4-6 miles over local footpaths (not a strenuous hike!) then please This email address is being protected from spambots.
