Marsh Green Christmas Lights were turned on on Saturday 2nd December, with the Town Band playing before an enthusiastic audience. And of course seasonal refreshments!

Services are at the heart of the church’s life when we are enriched by our worship and by meeting with each other in a relaxed way.

Our service starts at 10.30am and lasts an hour.  There is a relaxed atmosphere both before and during the service, with coffee being served after the service. 

Communion is usually celebrated on the second Sunday of the month.  The invitation is to all, including children, to take part.

Children are warmly welcomed as part of the church family, all of whom worship together for the first 20 minutes or so of the Sunday service. The children then leave for Junior Church.

We have a varying number of children at our service each week and they are involved with many aspects of church life, including sometimes helping to welcome people at the door as they arrive, reading the Bible passage in the main service, taking up the offertory and being part of a mixed age singing group.

Members of St John’s URC Marsh Green have long been concerned with issues of justice and peace, and being good stewards of the planet is a natural extension of this.

The most visible signs of our eco-credentials are such things as the rows of photovoltaic panels high up on the slate roof which mean that the church is a net exporter of electricity, and the rainwater tank that tops up the wildlife pond and another that waters the plants.
