The Revd Ed Cearns joins St John's on placement

From this Sunday 6 October there will be a new face at St John’s. The Revd Ed Cearns is joining us on a curacy placement for the next few months. Here he introduces himself:

“I have felt God’s call to ordained ministry since my teenage years but, as for many, the path has taken many twists and turns and God has given me the experience to be ready in His time. Now in my second year of curacy at St Clement’s Church in Cambridge, I am delighted to be joining St John’s on an extended placement.

“Through my journey of mission and evangelism, I have served my community as a local Councillor and Marketplace Chaplain. I now work as an artist with a weekly stall on Cambridge Market alongside my curacy, seeing creativity as an outflowing of the Holy Spirit.

“I feel passionate about the role of the parish church being there for the whole community, to provide a ministry of word and sacrament, pastoral care, and social connection. I am looking forward to journeying with you in sharing Christ’s love in the parish.”

Planning your Visit

New to Church?

If you are planning your first visit to St John’s, welcome! We hope the information below will help you.

Our Sunday morning services begin at 10.00am. When you arrive, you will be greeted by one of our welcoming team who will help you find somewhere to sit and will give you a service booklet and a hymn book. Please see our ‘Sunday services’ page for more details of services and times.
We serve tea, coffee and biscuits after the morning service and we hope very much that you will stay for a chat. All refreshments are free.

Accessibility: There is wheelchair access through powered double doors, and an accessible toilet. We have a small car park, and there is free parking on a Sunday in the surrounding streets. You may wish to arrive 10-15 minutes early if you need a parking space close to the church.

You can expect:
- A warm welcome, with everything you need to follow the service easily;
- Beautiful music in the English choral tradition at both Sunday services, led by the St John's choir and organist;
- A talk or sermon, usually focused on the readings we have heard;
- On Sunday and Wednesday mornings, tea or coffee afterwards and time to chat with others.

What about children?
We have a regular Children’s Church on Sunday mornings for 4-11 year-olds. The children learn about the same Bible readings we are hearing in church, with games, activities and prayers. We also have an All-Age service, where everybody worships together, on the first Sunday of each month. Find out more about Children's Ministry.
