Friendship Group – Wednesdays at 2pm, St. John’s
Friendship group was formed in 1975 for older people to meet up socially. Games of Bingo Dominoes and cards were played. We still follow this format today because it works. We meet up in St. John’s Link each Wednesday 2pm to 4pm. Tea and Coffee served.

Christian Movement – Friday 5.30-6.30pm, All Saints Church Centre
Weekly classes for the physical, spiritual and mental well-being.
Cost £2 to go to the church (split between All Saints’ and St John’s)
Christian movement meets on a Friday at 5.30 in the All Saints’ Church Centre. We pray together, move together, exercise, dance and enjoy ourselves on a weekly basis. This costs £2 and the money all goes to both All Saints and St Johns.
The idea is to keep us healthy, physically, mentally and spiritually.
Internet Café – Mondays 10am, St. John’s
On Monday Mornings from 10am – 12pm, St John’s Community Link hosts a Computer Support and Internet Café. A number of knowledgeable helpers are on hand to assist with learning about computers (including tablets & phones), offer guidance/advice and help solve computer related problems.
The support can be tailored to your needs, or the team can suggest areas to explore (such as managing photos, sending emails, searching the internet, viewing Facebook and using Skype). Free Wifi internet access is available for all attendees. Bring along your own computer, or borrow one for the morning.
ECO Group
We believe that creation care is an integral part of our witness as Christians. St. John’s established the Eco-Group to identify and co-ordinate environmental activities. We were also responsible for applying successfully for an Eco Church award, an award scheme run by the Christian environmental charity A Rocha, with, among others, Christian Aid and Tearfund. It recognises a church’s commitment to caring for the environment. While the Eco group is currently not meeting, we do have links to Friends of Mickleover Meadows and Bramble Brook, and at All Saints links to Friends of Mickleover Manor Woodlands. We join with their activities on an occasional basis.
As part of our environmental initiative, we are now collecting medicine blister packs at St. John’s and All Saints, for recycling through “My Group”. However this does come at a cost, and we welcome donations from people using this facility to help offset the costs involved. We encourage everyone to think carefully about recycling, and re-use where possible.
