Wimborne Food Bank Update

A message from Sharon...

Happy New Year to you all, I hope you had a lovely Christmas.

We had a very busy Christmas which included providing school holiday parcels to pupil premium families, 73 Christmas Hampers, two Santa’s Grotto events, we were able to give Christmas presents and selection packs to every adult and child as well as a big bag of Christmas food with every parcel. We also held a volunteer thank you event and served hundreds of families with food parcels.

Thank you so much for your support with selection packs, Christmas presents and food donations, we could not have served all these people without them.

I have been busy planning for 2025 and for Easter where we would love to be able to give every adult and child an Easter Egg and some Easter treats, we will be supporting pupil premium families with our Easter School holiday parcels.

I am also looking forward to working with the Friendly Food Club again this year to hold some free family cooking sessions as these proved to be very popular last year.

We really need good quality plastic bags if anyone has any that they do not need 😊.

Our new annual review has been printed so if anyone would like some copies for their school, Church or organisation please let me know.

Thanks again for all your support, we really do appreciate it & it makes a Huge difference.

Planning your Visit

Welcome from the Vicar

Let me welcome you to St John’s! I am so delighted you have found our web site. We are a Church family in Wimborne for anyone living, working or studying around this area. Whoever you are, whatever your age, whether you’re an experienced Christian or not, we would love you to join us.

From an intrigued onlooker to the committed follower we are keen that everyone should grow in relationship with God through knowing Jesus. To help us do that our emphasis is on hearing God speak to us by his Holy Spirit through his word, the Bible. Each of us knows that we only grow in a relationship with someone and get to know them when we spend time listening to them and responding and reacting to what they say. So the focus of St John’s is on listening to God’s word, talking to him in prayer and taking up all that he says.

The Church family here at St John’s longs to help anyone who wants to investigate the life of Jesus. On this site you will find people, meetings, talks and events shaped to help you take another step forward in finding out more about God and his love for us in Jesus, and to help you get linked into the church family life.

I do hope I will have the opportunity to meet you personally in the very near future and that you will quickly feel at home at St John’s.

Revd. Peter Breckwoldt
