Welcome to St John’s

 
 
 
 

St John’s is a thriving Scottish Episcopal congregation at the heart of Scotland’s beautiful capital city.

Our mission is summed up in the five St John’s AMEN-S:
1. Affirm and deepen the faith of the members of the congregation
2. Make new disciples of Jesus Christ
3. Embrace the care of creation and advocacy for eco-justice
4. Nurse the wounds of those who are hurting body, mind, or soul
5. Speak truth to the powers of the world

In October, some of the Wednesday Group went on a weekend retreat in the beautiful Dumfries and Galloway countryside.

Rev David Bagnall led sessions including morning and evening prayer and exploring contemplative prayer. One of the group led a creative session making zines to help reflect on the story of Jesus calming the storm.

There was also plenty of time to socialise and deepen relationships over food, games and walks in the local area, including the unexpected pleasure of taking the llamas for a walk through the village!

The Wednesday group is a weekly meetup for students and young adults, and meets either in the rectory, the pub or one of the groups homes. It is centered around sharing food together, with good conversation and sometimes a more structured reflection or discussion. New members are always welcome.Image attachmentImage attachment+2Image attachment
