St John'S Church Lacey Green, Loosley Row & Speen

Speen School children have been learning about the wise man and the foolish and left us these building blocks in church so we could see what they have been doing. Well done and thank you, Speen School.

The choir executed a great surprise at the end of this mornings service with a rendition of happy birthday for Rev Tony’s 70th birthday this coming Wednesday. This was followed by prosecco and a wonderful cake (thanks to simplyalpa.co.uk). Happy birthday Tony!

We are raising funds for the much needed (but expensive)restoration of our historic and extremely rare Samuel Green organ. Put the date in your diary - it'll be fun.

Its almost summer fete time - make a note in your diary to be sure not to miss is. Lots of fun, fellowship and laughter for all in our villages. We will again have the best barbecue breakfast / lunch for many a mile and of course our legendary church cakes.

Happy Mother’s Day from St John’s Church. We had such a joyful service this morning - a beautiful rendition of Amazing Grace by children from St John’s School, reflections on why we give flowers from Rev Tony, pretty posy’s for all the ladies and mouth watering cakes.

Excited for our Mothers Day service and, of course, the traditional cakes. All welcome, 10am, do join us.

Anyone for pancakes? Breakfast this coming Sunday morning between 8:30 and 10am in the school hall. Come and join us after 8am church, before 10am church, whilst out for your Sunday cycle / walk / run or simply because you fancy a nice breakfast.

NEW GROUP: Calling all parents, grandparents, carers and little ones - scurry on down Wednesday's at 2pm commencing 3 April and then 24 April after the Easter school holidays.

A perfect crib service at St John's this Christmas Eve where we were treated to songs and prayers from pupils of St John's school. There was a vast array of Christmas jumpers (one of them musical) and a host of nativity characters (including the all important nativity reindeer!). The posada was brought to the altar by the children following its journey around 8 homes in Lacey Green this advent, and the crib is all ready for the addition of baby Jesus as midnight mass (11:15pm).

Are you ready for Christmas? We are at St John's but need your help. Come along to St John's Church this afternoon at 3:30pm for our lovely traditional crib service and help us prepare the crib ready for the big day tomorrow. Children (and adults) are welcome to come in nativity fancy dress if they wish - it all adds to the fun and sense of anticipation.

Extra large Christingle ready for our Christingle service this afternoon. Come along and see for your self and get your own mini replica. All warmly welcome - 3:30pm

Everyone warmly welcome to this lovely Christmas service. Always fun to see if the children can make it out of church with any sweets left on their Christingle.

Advent and Christmas services start next Sunday at St John's with our annual toy service. Please bring your gift of a new toy which will be distributed by the Salvation Army to needy children.

St John's school children took part in a beautiful service of remembrance in church this morning. The singing was, as usual, outstanding; poems and prayers were read from representatives of the year groups and poppy crosses were laid by year 6 pupils. The two minute silence was perfectly observed demonstrating that value of respect that has been a focus for the first half of the autumn term, and how fitting that the value for the second half of the term is peace.
There will be a service of remembrance at 10am this Sunday when we look forward to many of the St John's children joining us again. Everyone is most welcome - do come and join us.

Not to be missed...
Next weekend the Local History Group are hosting an exhibition In St John's Church marking 100 years since the end of WW1, foundation of the RAF and women getting the right to vote.
