7:15pm Choir Practice
St John's, Milborne Port
St John's Choir members meet most Fridays in St John's Church from 7 to about 8pm to rehearse hymns and anthems for the following Sunday. For Holy Communion services the choir normally sings two hymns during communion, but occasionally sings an anthem instead of one of the hymns. New members in all voice parts (SATB) would be very welsome.
For more information on the choir please see St John's Choir page.
10:00am Lent Course 2025
Church House, Milborne Port
Starting Mon 10 March 2025 in Church House from 10-11am
A Lent group with a difference. We will be using a course called ‘The Rest is Worship’. Many of you will have heard of mindfulness or meditation, but I wonder if you knew that they are two different words for a way of quieting the mind which have ancient roots in Christianity and other religions as well?
Join us once a week for some quiet time. Lent begins on 5th March (Ash Wednesday).
