Welcome
The Lord calls us to do justly, love mercy and walk humbly with God - Micah 6:8
St John’s with St Mary’s is a friendly Church of England community in the heart of Devizes where we seek to walk openly and honestly with others as we learn to grow in God’s love. We invite you to experience and celebrate God’s love with us through worship and fellowship.
Letter from Jacqui, Assistant Curate
It must be the stage in life I am at, but I know a number of people who in the past couple of years, have had to say goodbye to those they love. Sometimes it may have been through death, sometimes just saying goodbye for a short time as teenagers go off to university. Some, as a friend has recently done, have said goodbye to their offspring to emigrate to warmer climes. Nothing can prepare us for that feeling of emptiness that follows. I read a short piece in a book by Jill Briscoe and she has a phrase for this, "Heart Hungry". I thought this a lovely phrase as it clearly describes how we feel when someone who means very much to us, cannot be with us. 30 years ago I awoke to the news the previous night my mum had passed away, my heart was seriously hungry.
