Monday Market

Some years ago, one of the members of St John's felt very strongly that it would be good if local people could come to the church and feel comfortable without necessarily coming to a church service. So the vision for Monday market was born. It began as a simple coffee bar but prior to the Covid crisis was a thriving market selling most things that anyone wishes to donate! The market is under Debbie's management and generally runs on the first Monday of each month. It is an important part of our outreach to the community. All members of the catering team have their Health & Hygiene Certificates and official logs are kept for cleaning so that our kitchen complies with regulations. The Monday Market is a real hive of activity. Come and check it out!

Sing for Joy Choir

The minister thought there was a need in Shiphay for a community choir and Sing for Joy was born in 2017. The choir is made up of church members and members of the Shiphay community. They usually give a concert in the summer and again just before Christmas. Choir rehearsals usually take place at 7.30 p.m. on Wednesday evenings in term time. Anyone interested in joining the choir is very welcome to come along.

Prayer Ministry

Each Sunday morning Prayer Ministry is offered during the service

Details of all of these activities are available from the Church office.
