Friday 3rd April 2026 Welcome to this week's Friday Mail, with information about our services, events and ministries. Scripture of Encouragement ‘He himself bore our sins’ in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; ‘by his wounds you have been healed.’ 1 Peter 2: 24 (NIV) EASTER WEEKEND Good Friday We look forward to being together with churches across Felixstowe at the open air united service at the 'Triangle' in town at 11am. You can follow the cross from St John's Church if you'd like to join the walk of witness from 10.45am. The service should finish at 12pm. We will then head to the Church Centre, where we'll have tea/coffee and hot cross buns. We will also be taking communion together. 🍞🍷 Resurrection Sunday Easter Sunday, we aren't just celebrating a historical event; we're celebrating a Rescue Story that is still being written in our lives today. Join us for Resurrection Sunday as we worship, reflect, and rejoice in the hope of the Gospel.

Where & when does the church meet?

Our Church meets every Sunday at 10.30am for Sunday Service. Aim to arrive 10 minutes early to get parked and find a seat in time for the service to start.

We meet at:

River of Life Christian Life Centre
2 Carr Road, Felixstowe, IP11 2FS

You can see a map on our Contact us page.

There is plenty of parking available on the site.

What should I expect when I visit the church?

You will receive a very warm welcome particularly from our Welcome Team who will be able to answer your questions and direct you to where you need to go. There will be approximately 45 mins of singing with opportunity for church members to pray or read a passage from the bible. After the notices there will be a spiritual message from one of the leaders at the Church with a chance to respond at the end of the service.

Tea, coffee and biscuits are normally served after the service where there is plenty of time to meet new people and ask more questions.

What happens to the children at church?

We have a fantastic programme for children at the Church for ages 0 thru 17. Children stay with their parents at the start of the service as we worship (sing songs!) together for the first part of the morning. An announcement is made when it's time for children to join their programmes. Children need to be registered.

For more information about programmes and age groups, please refer to the relevant pages under the main menu heading "Ministries".

Is there a dress code?

No! Please just be yourself and come dressed in your 'normal' clothes.

Will I have to join in?

Not at all!
You are free to simply observe or participate as much as feels comfortable for you.
