Welcome to the church of St John the Baptist!
We are a loving, welcoming community of Christians here to serve both God and our local community. We hope you will join us so that we can continue to grow in faith and holiness together.
We are delighted to be open for public worship, with safeguards in place due to Covid. For those of you who do not feel ready to return in person yet, our Sunday service also continues to be streamed on our Facebook page. There is also a link on our Worship page.
Our regular Masses are at 10.30 a.m. on Sundays, 8.30am on Tuesdays, and at 10am on Wednesdays. There is a time of open prayer on Thursdays, 7.30-8.30pm.
You can join us for Children's Church (Primary School Age) at 10am on the first Sunday of each month.
We also share coffee together on Zoom at 12.30 p.m. on Sundays for half an hour, so please do join us then for some social time together – get in touch for the log in details.
Stay safe and well.
God bless you, and we hope to see you soon.
Rev'd Peter
Mask-wearing in church is no longer mandatory but you are encouraged to continue to wear them inside church for now if you are able to, out of consideration for others.
We are currently not sharing the common cup as a precaution as well.
Thank you for understanding and for your patience and care to each other.

We like most Churches are missing much of the normal income, which comes through weekly church collections and fees for weddings, baptisms and funerals. At the moment such income is severely depleted by the Covid-19 restrictions.
This giving page gives everyone a chance to support the work of our church, which has been continuing throughout the lock-down period.
Please give generously so that this important work can continue.
St John's (in the Catford (Southend) & Downham Team Ministry) takes the safeguarding and care of children and vulnerable adults very seriously. Further information about this can be found at Safeguarding:
A Safe Church.
Please visit our building for private prayer or one of our many services when it is safe to do so. Or drop us a line at the link below and someone will be in touch with you.
