This month we were entertained by Paul with the visit of Elizabeth the First to Worcester in 1575.

As part of the Worcester Festival our Organist, John Brierley, gave a concert in the Huntingdon Hall.

The cubs from Red Pack completed their Naturalist badge in July and they really enjoyed visiting the church grounds to do the research for the badge.

​St. John's - in -Bedwardine Parish Church has had a mission partnership link with Revd Juan Carlos and Penny Marcés for over twenty years. It was good to welcome them to St. John's over the weekend of 19-21 July.

It was both a joyful and a sad occasion as members of St Johns choir gathered on June 23rd to say good-bye to Olivia Kellie.

Are you interested in singing? We have a vibrant choir who support our services and they are always interested in new members joining them, whatever their standard.

The meeting in July was a little different as we met Paul outside the Guildhall in Worcester and he took us around the centre of Worcester to see some of the 400 Ale Houses, Inns and Coaching Houses that used to be in Worcester.

The June talk from Paul at Discover History was all about the 1920s, a decade of contrasts with people coming out the austerity of the war and starting to enjoy themselves but the General Strike occurred and by the end of the decade people were already starting to think about war again.

The Worcester Red Pack are supporting the work being done in the Churchyard by building a Bug Hotel and then working on their Naturalist badges in the Churchyard over a 4 month period.

The Flower Ladies have done the church and congregation proud with a magnificent display of flowers for Easter Sunday.
