Past Events (Archived)
In the last 3 years or so St John's
and Horwich Moor have put on many events. Here is some
information about a few of them.
Valentine's Day Dinner 2009
On Valentine's night St John's were treated by the young people to a night of romantic entertainment. Smart well dressed young men welcomed us at the door and directed us downstairs for light drinks. We then made our way into church where there was subdued lighting and music by Emma singing and Ian playing his guitar. The tables were set out beautifully.
Alastair said grace and then we had a very tasty meal cooked by chef Danien and his wife Jane who worked very hard all day. During the meal we enjoyed background music of love songs played by Matthew and the meal was served by 13 young waiters and waitresses under the watchful eye of Alastair. All this took place under the expert tuition of Derek Horner who had worked hard all day at church and for many weeks planning and organising. A raffle took place and even the lovely table arrangements (supplied by Pat) were raffled. Many thanks go to all the young people, Derek, the cooks, the musicians and all the helpers (not forgetting Carol and Sheila in the kitchen) for a wonderful evening.
The
Weakest Link
On Saturday 15 November 2008 St John's held its own
version of The Weakest Link. Many thanks to everyone for
all their hard work in making the evening such a fun
time.

MUSICAL EVENING
Saturday night was 'Music Night' on 6th September 2008 at St John's Church, Horwich. Graham Smith, Paul Curtis, Matthew Howard-Norman and eleven year old Ben Scrivener gave an very enjoyable evening of music ranging from Lancashire folk songs to music from the musicals and great composers. Graham started the evening in fine style with his own brand of Lancashire humour and musical talent including singing and playing the guitar.
Young Ben surprised us all with his excellent performance on the euphonium. He played with confidence for his early years and selected a programme to please everyone.
Matthew was an excellent teenage ambassador giving a very moving rendition of 'This is the moment' from Jeckyll and Hyde accompanied by June Howard-Norman on the piano and then changed tempo playing Scott Joplin's 'Entertainer' on the piano. Matthew closed his programme accompanying himself on the piano as he sang 'Can you feel the love tonight' by Elton John.
Paul gave an impressive performance on flute playing a medley of well loved music including pieces by George and Ira Gershwin, Rodgers and Hart and John Williams.
The evening concluded with Paul and Graham playing several numbers together, with 'Now is the hour' as their finale. The evening was thoroughly enjoyed and we hope that we will 'meet again' in 2009 with another 'Saturday Night is Music Night'.
St John's really has got Talent!
12th - 13th January 2008's course to create a church website in a weekend was a roaring success as you see!
Ably led by
Mike Bossingham of the Family Friendly Churches Trust we learned how to create and edit
web pages and structure a church website from scratch.
This will now be an easy way to keep up with what's
happening in our two churches and the many events that
are going on. 
St John's Youth Dinner
| The older teenagers at St John's have in the year 2007 put on two of these dinners on both accounts for charity. Both have been a resounding success and have been enjoyed both by the people who ate at them and by the young people who were waiting on and providing entertainment. |  |
