Thirteenth Sunday after Trinity

For it is written:

'If your enemies are hungry, feed them; if they are thirsty, give them something to drink; for by doing this you will heap burning coals on their heads.'

Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

✨ DISCOVER THE HIDDEN GEMS OF ST JOHN’S ✨

How well do you really know St John the Evangelist, Friern Barnet?

Behind its magnificent Gothic arches are details that can easily escape the eye: glorious stained-glass windows, intricate woodwork and metalwork, and even a secret staircase leading up to the organ. 👀⛪

For Heritage Open Day, we’re opening the doors and inviting you to come and explore the history, craftsmanship and architectural treasures of this beautiful church.

📅 Saturday 19 September
🕐 From 1pm onwards
📍 St John the Evangelist, Friern Barnet

Look upwards. Look closer. Wander into the corners you may never have noticed before.

From the colours dancing through our stained glass to the remarkable carved woodwork, delicate ironwork and hidden passageways, there is a story waiting around almost every corner.

Whether you love historic buildings, architecture, local history, photography, or you’ve simply wondered what lies behind those church doors, this is a wonderful opportunity to see St John’s from a completely different perspective.

Come and discover the secrets of St John’s. 🔑✨

☀️ Our final Friday Lunch Club of the summer was one to remember.

We celebrated in style with a delightful afternoon cream tea, accompanied by the wonderful live piano music of Matthew, which filled the hall with warmth and joy. 🎹🫖🍰

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the afternoon so special. The Friday Lunch Club is much more than a meal. It is a time of friendship, laughter and community.

We look forward to welcoming you all back on Friday 11th September from 12pm for another season of good food and great company.

Until then, have a wonderful summer! 🌻
