          St John’s Reading Group meets on the first Thursday of the month at 8.00pm in the Church Coffee Lounge. At our monthly meetings we discuss the current book and any other books which we have read. It is a great opportunity for us bibliophiles
          &#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
          to come together and discuss the latest books and to look forward to future titles.
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;

    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
          Our book titles this year have continued to be varied and we never seem to be at a loss to find books which we enjoy – crime and historical novels are always very popular.
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;

           Our all-age service offering the opportunity for the whole family to worship together (Children stay in Church rather than going out for their separate activities).

           Usually on the 3rd Sunday of the month unless it is replaced by a Parade Service with our children's uniformed organisations (Harvest Festival, Remembrance Sunday, Mothering Sunday, and St. George's Day).

          Old Malden Bereavement Café runs monthly drop-in sessions for anyone who has been bereaved. People are welcome to attend whether or not their loved one was cared for by Princess Alice Hospice.
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          Trained volunteers lead the sessions and offer a chance to talk with others who have also experienced loss. While grief is personal, many people find comfort in speaking with others who understand what they are going through.
