FOR CHILDREN

Although St John's does not have a Sunday School, we delight in sharing our worship with children and young people. For our younger members, we have a dedicated area with crafts and sheets that link to the theme of the service and toys for little ones. We hope that all will feel very welcome.


THE CATHEDRAL CHOIR

Our music is led by our Musical Director, James Campbell and the Cathedral Choir on Sundays, and by our Assisting Organist - George Cringles on Wednesdays. 

Members of the choir are drawn from amongst the worshipping community and lead us in our regular worship. They offer a wide range of choral music, through hymnody, service settings and anthems. Rehearsals are held weekly on Thursdays, if you would like to know more about the choir, or join them in singing, please contact James Campbell through our Contact Page.
