Church Halls

Our church halls at St John’s are very busy with our own and outside organisations and they are likely to become busier!  A team of volunteers organised by Jinty Wilson works hard to ensure that the halls are set out and ready for users.  ‘Many hands make light work’ so if you feel you could help with this from time to time, please let Jinty know, her phone number is 01337 830693 or phone me at 01334 650710.
