What a great joy and delight it was to gather as a St John's community to worship God on the Fifth Sunday in Pentecost - Sunday July 5. We are worshipping in the hall because of COVID-19 restrictions. The sermon was based around Jesus' words in Matthew 11:25-30 'Come to me, all you are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest."
