St John's is proud to present a Crib suitably modern for 2009. Light artist, Nicky Carter, and installation artist, Tony Heywood, have created an alternative, abstract re-presentation of the nativity scene for our church.
Mary and Joseph are represented by two contemporary light works: blue, Mary, and orange, Joseph. A jewelled Jesus lies bathed in light, symbolised by a reflective sculpture picking out the colour of the church's stained glass.
Both Nicky Carter and Tony Heywood are represented by The Fine Art Society, London.

On December the 6th this year St John's was proud to host its first ever St Nicholas service. The festival was a popular destination with more than fifty children and over a hundred people joining the celebration. There were activity stations all round the church to make an apple St Nicholas, gingerbread Santas, finger puppets and an icon, as well as a chapel of prayer for children around the world. The service itself was led by our Boy Bishop Roman Guarente, who in donning mitre and crozier re-established a tradition of the medieval church. Meanwhile our choral scholars provided entertainment and led us worship with both traditional and modern music of St Nicholas and Santa Claus!
