Papua New Guinea and held by women in 170 countries
on the same day (3,000 parishes in UK). The theme
this year was 'In Christ there are many members yet
one body'. Janey

group provided the music.

Scrap Book 2008
June 2008
A wonderful trip was made by parishioners of St
John's in June 2008 to the Wintershall Estate's
'Life of Christ'. It was an early start in order to
arrive on time, but well worth it. The play was
performed throughout the whole day, and thankfully
the weather was kind to us. Everyone returned home
affected by the thought-provoking performance, and
looking forward to returning again in future years.
