St John's Update - 1 June 2022


Dear friends,

God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in times of trouble.
Psalm 46:1


Funeral of Oscar Cubitt

A memorial service of celebration and thanksgiving for the life of Oscar Cubitt will be held at St John's on Wednesday 8 June at 2:30pm. This service will be livestreamed at https://www.facebook.com/stjohnselmswell/live. As we are expecting the church to be very full, if you would like to join the service but knew Oscar less well, it may be better to join the livestream and leave a comment for the family. Please continue to hold Alex, Rob and Natasha and the family in your prayers.
