About 60 people enjoyed the first of Paul’s talks for the year, this time he gave us a lively, and of course interesting, talk on the 1950s. It was a fast-paced period of our history

The December presentation from Paul Harding was all about Christmas through the ages. As per usual it was a wonderful series of fascinating facts and anecdotes about Christmas introducing where things had come from and the links to pagan times but majoring on the Wartime Christmas.

On a dank and miserable morning, we gathered at church to go by coach to the Christmas Market at Bath, one of the best in the country. Bath is a UNESCO World Heritage Site so a wonderful day was expected and had by all!

The Events Team had arranged a double billing for the November Good Old Days session. As well as a talk by Paul Harding on the Famous Names from the Great War our very own Rev Sarah gave us a talk about her walk through the War Cemeteries of the Great War.

Being the 100th Centenary of the end of the Great War (World War 1) this year was going to be special and the members of the church pulled out all the stops to make it very special. The morning found the church packed with people standing and others unable to actually get in the church for the service. Then in the evening the Events Team had organised the church’s participation in the Battle’s Over nationwide pageant.

On 29th September the latest St John’s Coach trip set off from the Church heading for the National Memorial Arboretum.

​Despite the horrendous weather conditions on Thursday 20th September over 60 people turned up to hear Paul Harding, AKA the History Man, delve in to the history of some of Worcester’s finest and oldest buildings.

St John's was treated to an excellent concert in early September

Paul, the History Man, told us about Victorian Worcester and the slums of the area.

The events team arranged a mystery trip to the Cotswolds in July.
