Welcome to The Washingborough Group of Churches - a place where everyone matters.

Sunday 22nd November

Christ the King

"Service of the Word 15th November 2020"

Here is the link to the video of the service from St John's, led by the Reverend George Goalby.

"Remembrance Day Service 8th November 2020"

There were quite a few technical faults where we lost video and audio, so apologies for that. Nevertheless, most of the service got streamed OK so here is the link to the video of the service from St John's, led by the Reverend George Goalby.

"Service Remembering those who have passed
away during the Covid-19 pandemic
25th October 2020"

This was not a live streamed service, but several people expressed a desire to see it, so I just stuck the camera on the tripod and hit record. Sound quality is not as good as I would like, but it is adequate. Click here to view the video.

"Drive in Harvest Festival
Sunday 27th September 2020"

We had our outdoor Harvest Festival on Sunday from the field opposite Poplar Bank Farm. If you were unable to attend then you can see the service by clicking here.

"St John's Opening"

Now Steve is working back in the Parish Office, the churchyard will be open weekday mornings as will the church building. Please bear in mind that Steve is working in the office and the usual social distancing measures must be observed if you are going into the church. St John’s is also open for private prayer on Thursdays 14:00-16:00 and Saturdays 14:00-16:00. Please enter by the vestry door, so that we are able to monitor the number of people in the building.

"Outdoor Service, 23rd August 2020"

We had an outdoor "Songs of Praise" style service in a field by Poplar Bank Farm, Heighington. It was a bit wet, but other than that it went very well. The recording did not go quite as planned. I could only use one camera (the waterproof one!) and the rain hitting the microphones does generate a lot of pops and clicks, which I tried to filter out as best as possible, but my filters are only so good. Click here for the video.

Many thanks to John Crust for the use of the field and for some pretty awesome organisation and for laying on some power to run the amplifiers and many thanks to Scott for providing all the PA gear, so that we could hear the music and the Rector.

"St John's open for Private Prayer"

We are pleased to be able to tell you that, in line with Government guidance, St John’s will now be open for private prayer at the following times: Tuesdays 10:00-12:00, Thursdays 14:00-16:00, Saturdays 14:00-16:00. Please enter by the vestry door, so that we are able to monitor the number of people in the building. Hand sanitizer is available in the church, but if you wish to wear a mask, or other face covering, please bring this with you.
