On Sunday, 29th March, 2009, both Mawneys Ward Action Members, Karen and Graham Price, joined dignitaries from The London Borough of Havering, to celebrate the ministry of St John's the Divine Church, in Mawney Road, from 1928 until 2009.
Sadly, the Church is to close and the last service is to be held there on Palm Sunday, the 5th April and will be both a poignant and moving occasion for the parishioners who worship there.

The Parish Communion & Thanksgiving Service was a simple yet suitable declaration which underlined the role that the church has played in the local community.
The sermon was given by The Archdeacon of West Ham, and the service was conducted by Rev. Stephen Waine, Vicar of St. Edward’s, Romford, who has been Priest-in-Charge of St. John the Divine for seven years.
Graham Price said "It is a real shame that the church is to close next month, it has been around for a many years and has been part of the community for all of that time, the service was very moving and was wonderful to see so many many people there on the day".
