Our St John’s Anglican community came together on the Sixteenth Sunday after Pentecost for worship and a sermon. We are worshipping in the hall because of Covid-19. The preacher is Canon Paul Black. The Scripture reading is Matthew 20:1-16.

The Parish Office is closed. You are welcome to contact Canons Paul, Margaret and Kevin and Rev'd Vicky on their mobile phones.
Sunday@9.30 is for families and people of all ages. We share the Eucharist (Holy Communion), enjoy the company of others and there are fun, Christ centred programs for children and youth.
Wednesday at 10 am. The Book of Common Prayer (BCP) and the King James Version (KJV) of the Bible have nurtured Anglicans for over three hundred years in the Christian faith.
St John's is a popular destination for many couples, especially those requiring a more intimate worship space.
