St John the Baptist Church

In the last five years, there has been an effort to reach out to the more elderly demographic, particularly with the Stichell House Care Home which is run by The Hospital of God. There have been retreats and quiet days organised for other parishes. We have strengthened our links with Greatham School, and with the Hospital of God. Members of our congregation have been involved with other villagers in charitable and community events e.g. Greatham Feast, a week of activities based around the Feast of St John the Baptist, our patron, Snowdrop Sunday, and Greatham in Bloom. We have undertaken fund-raising to replace our church boiler.
