This year, in the absence of a vicar and with some disappointment, the PCC has agreed that we will reduce the services at St John’s in Holy Week.
Maundy Thursday, 6th April
No service at St John’s
We are encouraged instead to go to St Andrew’s (Sally’s church) in North Swindon off Tadpole Lane SN25 2DW (between Blunsdon Abbey Park and Lyall Close). We are welcome to join them for the whole evening or just for the meal or the Communion service.
- 6:00pm Informal supper (bread and cheese) to remember the Last Supper – please RSVP secretary@nschurch.org.uk if you would like to join this.
- 7:30pm Holy Communion followed by Watch of prayer
- 9:00pm Compline (Night Prayer)

- 10:00am Meet outside Justin Tomlinson’s Office at the Orbital to walk to St John’s Haydon Wick

This is a child-friendly event and will be followed by refreshments.
