Welcome to St John's Church, Glastonbury

St John’s 2019 services — when and where

To celebrate St John-the-Baptist day and the summer solstice, this Sunday's main Eucharist service -- for the whole deanery -- is in the Lady Chapel (the crypt) of Glastonbury Abbey, at 10am. St John's choir will lead the music.

The 8am Holy Communion (Book of Common Prayer) at St Ben's and the 11am Matins at St Mary's in Meare take place as usual.

=== Here's the overall pattern of services for the month: ===

St John's church building is closed for all of 2019 to undergo major refurbishment.
St John's people, including the choir, will worship at the two other churches in the benefice.
Changes to St John's traditional location and time are underlined.
Some services for St Ben's or Meare congregations are listed to show where timing is tight.
