St John's Vision"I urge you, in view of God's mercy, Romans 12v1 Neil's Vision for St John's"I have a dream for St. John's. It's a dream which is painted deep within my soul. It's a dream I hope and pray and work for. I have a dream that we will grow in prayer. That we will pray big prayers and that when God answers these prayers our faith will grow. I have a dream that St John's itself will grow. That on a regular basis we will see people commit themselves to following Jesus. I have a dream that our worship will become richer and deeper. That people will bring hurts and despairs, together with their joys, into our worship and will go out built-up to live and serve during the following week. I have a dream that we are able to strengthen and expand our children's and young people's work. That more and more we are able to nurture and satisfy the needs of our own children and begin to reach out to new teenagers. I have a dream that increasingly we will be a giving church; generous not only with our money but in giving our best people away to full-time ministry in other churches. I have a dream that the ministry of this church will grow dramatically with almost every member involved in some area of ministry. It could be children's work, visiting the elderly, helping out at our village schools, being a counsellor, serving tea or whatever. I dream that in order to run all these areas of ministry we will attract more and more members of staff, many from our own congregation. I have a dream for this parish; it's a dream which is painted deep within my soul. It's a dream I hope and pray and work for . . . I want to encourage you to dream the dream and become a part of the reality."
