Chapel Services

Michaelmas Term 2019

St John’s College Chapel Since the early thirteenth century the site of St John’s College has had a place of Christian worship. The original Chapel, whose ruins may still be viewed in First Court, belonged to a hospital for the poor and infirm and was retained when the College was founded in 1511. Our present Chapel, built in 1869 by Sir George Gilbert Scott, continues this faithful offering of prayer with regular services enriched by the College’s outstanding choral tradition.

Members of the public are welcome at all Services.

Surplices are provided in the Chapel, and are worn by members of the College on Sundays, at Evensong on Saturdays, and on other holy days as marked in this list with the letter S.

The Chapel is part of the Church of England, within the world-wide Anglican Communion, and welcomes everyone.

The Chapel Clerk can be contacted by telephone on 01223 338676 or by e-mail at [email protected]

Further details of the Chapel and Choir are available on the College website www.joh.cam.ac.uk & www.sjcchoir.co.uk

Sunday 6.30pm Evensong Sermon Series ‘Not in Polite Society’

The Chapel is fitted with a hearing induction loop for those who are deaf or hard of hearing. Simply

switch your hearing aid to the T position.

We gather collectively in the context of prayer; please respect the traditions of the Chapel and of all those who worship with you. If you would like to know more about the Christian faith or the
