Covid19
This website is on hold during the current situation.
Stay at home and stay safe everyone.
Revd Steve Proudlove has submitted the following information from St John's Parish Church:
Because of Covid-19, the Parish Church buildings must remain closed.
However, there are prayer and reflection resources on our website (https://www.stjohnmenston.org.uk/) updated most days, as well as craft ideas and other news and information.
Please check regularly as this is updated almost daily.

Menston's public toilet
After sadly being closed due to vandalism, the toilet has been superbly refurbished and is open for use. In order to prevent any vandalism in the future, the toilet will be locked overnight. Rideaway Taxis, now based at Kirklands, will ensure that the toilet is unlocked before 9.30am every day.
