The Congregation of St John’s

St John’s draws its congregation from the people of Forfar itself, nearby villages such as Letham and Padanaram, and the countryside of Angus. Some families have been associated with St John’s since the 18th Century.

In recent years, a number of new members have joined – mostly people who have come to live in this area of Scotland from other parts of the UK, and whose different backgrounds and experiences have greatly enriched our Church family. All will bear witness to a very friendly and welcoming congregation.

Come and meet us, come and share our worship and companionship. You, your friends and family will be made most welcome.  The church is open every day from about 9.30am to 2 pm for prayer or just to look around, and you can find out about services on the relevant page.

Words of Invitation, Words of Witness . . .

“Many of us think of church goers as people who spend an hour every so often at a worship service on Sunday morning. This is far from the truth. In many ways, Sunday morning is just the tip of an iceberg – what isn’t seen is the huge amount of caring and helping and serving inspired in individual people by their sharing in worship. That’s why we say that the spiritual life of the Church is essential.

Sadly, in an increasingly secular and selfish age many of us can easily spend so much of our time and energy trying to be rich in material things that we end up poor in soul. The Church’s worship is essential to keep us aware of the things of the soul, and remind us of the real riches of our lives – loyalty, compassion, justice, kindness, peace, goodwill to all” (A Member of St John’s).
