Welcome to St John's News online

St John's News is a quarterly magazine full of all the latest news from St John's, as well as future events and other interesting features and articles.

Since June 2005, St John's News has been given a completely new look and has been produced entirely 'in-house' by a dedicated editorial team, who do everything from gathering the content to stapling the pages together.

The magazine is aimed primarily for the congregation of St John's, but also for anyone who has visited our little church and may be interested in how it is doing.

St John's News online features issues of St John's News published since June 2005. It uses a utility called FlashPaper - see below for instructions on how to use FlashPaper.

We hope you enjoy reading St John's News. Please note that any additional items mentioned as being included with the magazine are not included with the online version of St John's News, however please contact us should you like to read these. Each issue may take a while to download, depending on the speed of your internet connection.
