Welcome to St John's website. St John's is the parish church for the village of Milford in Surrey.
St John's Mission is to demonstrate in Worship, Word and Action our love for God our neighbour and one another.
+ + St John’s Milford – Church building to open for private prayer + +
All acts of public worship are still suspended, but the church building is open for private prayer 9am-3pm on Wednesdays and 11am-3pm on Sundays. You are welcome to use the Lady Chapel to pray individually, while observing social distancing. The main body of the church, the church centre and toilet facilities will remain closed.
Please be assured that your church remains active in Milford. We are all praying for safe passage through this situation.
We continue to meet on Sundays at 10am over Zoom, which you can join from a smartphone, tablet or PC, or dial in from an ordinary telephone. If you would like to join our weekly Morning Prayer service, send and email to stjohnsmilford@hotmail.com to receive an invitation. A link to listen back to our most recent service is here.
If you or someone you know requires assistance (spiritual or practical) please contact the Rev Clive Potter (milfordvicarage@gmail.com or 01483 414710) or the pastoral team through stjohnsmilford@hotmail.com, who are making phone calls and arranging supplies where needed.
“But I call to God
And the Lord saves me.
Evening, morning, and noon
I cry out in distress
and he hears my voice.”
Psalm 55 v 16-17
If you are looking for practical help during self-isolation, we have a page listing all of the helpful services we have heard about. (Use the email stjohnsmilford@hotmail.com if you know of others we should list.)
If you are looking for some spiritual encouragement, check out this page. (If you have any prayers, drawings or photos we could use here again email stjohnsmilford@hotmail.com with your contribution.)
St John's normally receives much of its income in cash during public services. After two months of lockdown we already have a shortfall in income of £5000. There is a page where you can read more about our financial situation and steps you can take to help.
Our latest newsletter is here. At the moment we are only able to communicate directly with people whose details are on our electoral roll. This may be by phone, but is mostly by email, with hard copy posted to those we know do not have email about every 4 weeks. If you are not on our electoral roll, but would like to be included fill in our contact form here. Equally, if you are on our electoral roll, but have not been receiving these communications let us know - perhaps your email address was recorded incorrectly, or has changed since you joined the electoral roll.|
