Phase 1 of the redevelopment of St John's church is now finished. We now have three new rooms available for meetings - the Matson room, the Upper Room (on the mezzanine floor) and the Ladychapel (with concertina doors so that it can be converted between a meeting room and the full chapel).
Today we had our last services at Estcourt Street Primary School. We are very grateful for the help that the school has given us while Halls' builders were busy in the church. It's not good bye forever, as Rev Chris will continue helping with assemblies at the school, and the school will be coming to the new St John's for the school's Christingle service.
The first service in the refurbished building will start at 10:30 am on Sunday 16th December 2008. It will be a rededication of St John's as both a Church and a new Community Centre for the area. The service will include Holy Communion, with the Bishop of Hull presiding. The neighbouring churches of St Aidan's, St Columba's and Victoria Dock have all cancelled or rearranged their services for that Sunday so that they can join us. We will also be joined by the Hot Gospel Choir, who will be singing before as well as during the service.
