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.
The Church Wardens along with the PCC have decided that now is the time to stop asking folk to register for services in advance.
We are now asking folk to just come as we did prior to the Pandemic, there will still be social distancing and a reduced capacity but all are welcome to come along and participate in our Worship, we will be asking folk to supply contact details for the track and trace system.

Patronal Festival Choral Evensong in the Churchyard - Friday 25th June at 8pm
To celebrate the week of our Patronal Festival, the choir will sing Choral Evensong in the Churchyard on Friday 25th June at 8pm.
If the weather holds, there will be music by Philip Moore, Herbert Brewer and Orlando Gibbons, as well as another opportunity to hear Chris Totney's new anthem 'God of all creation'.
Should the weather force us to move the service indoors, some revisions to the music choices will very likely be necessary in order to comply with current singing guidance, but the service will definitely go ahead one way or the other.
Do join us for this unique celebration of our Patron Saint and the occasion of the full choir's first sung Evensong together since February 2020!
Our Curate, the Rev'd Gerry Lynch, will be ordained to the priesthood by the Bishop of Salisbury on Saturday 26 June at 4 pm.
Unfortunately, numbers are strictly limited due to pandemic-related restrictions.
All are welcome to his first celebration of the Eucharist in St John’s at 10.30 am on Sunday 27 June.
He would appreciate your prayers as he prepares to receive the life-changing and awe-inspiring sacrament.
