On behalf of St John’s Lutheran Church and the Ipswich Lutheran Parish you are warmly invited to join us for a celebration of the restoration and relighting of the St John’s steeple Cross.

Wednesday, 10 September 2025, 5.30 pm - 7.30 pm              

St John’s Church Hall

Cnr Nicholas & Roderick St, Ipswich

Light Refreshments provided

RSVP: secretary.sj@ipswich.church

Please RSVP by Monday, 8th September

For more than 60 years, the illuminated cross of St John’s – affectionately known as ‘the white cross on the hill’ - has been a landmark of the Ipswich skyline.  It has offered comfort and calm to many in our community, both churchgoers and non-churchgoers alike, however, the weather and its elements have taken its toll now.  After weeks of careful planning and restoration the cross will once again shine over the city.

Our celebration is being held in our newly renovated hall which now includes air conditioning, sound and visual upgrades and fully accessible bathroom facilities. Our hall is the perfect meeting and activities venue in the heart of the Ipswich CBD for use by our local communities, complete with convenient off-street parking!

We would be honoured by your presence as we celebrate this moment of renewal for both our church and our city. 

We look forward to you joining us for the celebration at 5.30 pm and the turning on the Cross lights at 7 pm.

Yours sincerely

St John’s Church Council
