Church Cleaning
Today was church cleaning day, many thanks to those that came out with the dusters and hoovers. Looks like the rewards of a bacon bun was well worth it.
If you missed the chance to have a go the next date is 20th June 2020.
Many thanks to all those who took part.
Cinema for the 7th March
This weekend see’s our fantastic cinema return to St John’s Church. This is created by members of our church and all the money raised goes back to the church.
At 14:30 we will be showing Dumbo, this is the 2019 “Live Action” version of the Disney original. It is literally brought to life!
At 19:30 we will be showing Judy. This 2019 film sees the award winning Rene Zellweger portrait the amazing Judy Garland as we see how Judy’s last london shows happened and the amazing stories behind them. Truly not to be missed.
Once again we will be serving Cocktails at the bar both before the film and during the interval.
If you have already seen these films then I reckon both are good for a second viewing.
