  When the sun light streams through   our large Stained Glass Window in the   Worship Area, we see lovely coloured   patterns on the pews and carpet!

One of our notice boards was damaged by Storm Eunice in February 2022. 

We now have two new notice boards facing Aldborough Road South!

 Following the Covid lockdown, (2021-   22) we opened our building again and   used our Chapel Room as a temporary   Pop-Up Shop.   Proceeds were used for   church funds.

                                                                               Before the Most Revd & Rt.   Honourable Stephen Cottrell became   Archbishop of York, he was our Bishop   of Chelmsford   (2010-2020). 

 He visited us at St John's on a number   of occasions. The Bishop (centre) is   pictured here in 2014 with our former   vicar (Revd. Jonathon Evens)  and   former curate (Revd. Santou Beurklian-   Carter). 

The temperatures in early December 2022 fell below zero. Then we had snow!

During October 2022, visitors to Chelmsford Cathedral experienced an astronaut's view of the world. A huge globe measuring six metres in diameter was hung from the ceiling above the nave. It was created from 120dpi detailed NASA imagery of the Earth's surface.

The stunning 'Gaia' artwork provided an opportunity to see the planet in its entirety as it slowly revolved and accompanied by surround- sound music. 'Gaia' had been brought to the city with the support of Essex Council's Climate Action Fund and Anglia Ruskin University.
