St John'S, Waberthwaite, LA19 5YW
The welcome at St John's is warm and friendly. Our small congregation worship together every other week using the Common Worship Communion Service and we often sing quite joyfully, unaccompanied. Our services last about an hour, with the offer of a cup of tea or coffee and a chat afterwards. There are now accessible toilets in the Old Laundry, in the new churchyard.
In our churchyard stand the shaft of a Celtic cross, whose intricate design reminds us that Christ has been worshipped at this estuary ford since at least the seventh century. We are a community of vision with existing plans for the development of this site which will enable it to continue being a place where people encounter God for many generations to come.

Summer Evening Prayer
Come and join us for our Summer Evening services. In May, June and July, there will be a service of Evening Prayer on the 4th Sunday of the month at 6.00. Each service will be based around the traditional Evensong service. Enjoy watching the evening light on the estuary, as the sun sets over the viaduct and the sand-dunes.
