St John’s Church is a warm and friendly church located close to Walton Hall Gardens in the village of Walton, Warrington, Cheshire.
At St John's we want everyone to experience the love of God and the joy that comes from encountering Jesus. We are committed to the Bible and aim to give messages that are relevant and helpful for everyone. Our services aim to cater for all needs,
whether seeking quiet reflection, traditional worship or more modern family services. We want you to feel you can come along to any of our services and events.
Our family worship is especially geared to all ages and an excellent way to get to
know us as a church family. We'd love you to join us.

The Walton Wanderers are a group of people who walk every Monday at 09.45am for approximately one and a quarter hours.
We enjoy some deep conversations, take in the scenery and usually stop near the reservoir for a few moments of mindfulness and gratitude.
It’s a great way to start the week and is appreciated by us all, even in the rain. In recent weeks we have been enjoying meeting for coffee after the walk, in the Community Church Hall.
If you are free on Monday morning and would like to join us, please contact Gill Povey.

February to March
Dear Friends,
We often talk nostalgically about snow. I think of my childhood in a south
Derbyshire village, walking to school along lanes piled high with snow that
had been cleared by the snowplough. But the reality is that snow, which
we so often have had in February and March, disrupts our lives. Other
countries seem to cope with it better, with their snow tyres, boots and
other necessary accessories, but with us the disruption often means that
things grind to a halt. But what if instead of seeing the disruption as a bad
thing, we see it as an opportunity to stop, take stock and look for new
ways to transform ourselves
