7:15 pm Choir Practice
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.

10:00 am Peaceable Living One Day Programme
St Mary's Church East Chinnock, BA22 9DP
Building peace in our divided worlds
A one-day programme on Saturday 21st March 2026, 10am to 4pm
In our increasingly divided and polarised worlds, globally, nationally or closer to home, what does it take to live peaceably, with curiosity and understanding of those we call ‘them’?
Inspired by its remarkable stained glass windows, donated by a former German prisoner of war, as a token of peace and reconciliation, St Mary’s and the Diocese Peacebuilding Network are thrilled to welcome speakers Jo Berry CBE and Simon Keyes to this year’s ‘Peaceable living’ programme.
