Sundays At home
at St John's:
staying connected
While we are unable to meet together in church, we are currently meeting via Zoom video. These services are happening at 10:30am every Sunday. If you would like to join our service please email admin@penge-anglicans.org and we will send to a link so that you are able to join.
We will also post recordings of the reading, talks and prayers from the Sunday service along with a some worship song links, and some children's resources that may be helpful.
We really hope that everyone who is not able to attend the Sunday Zoom service is able to listen at the same time on Sunday mornings at 10:30, bringing a sense of the church family all coming together in worship, and that it will help us to feel connected while we look forward to the time when we can meet together in person.
