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.

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.

In preparation for the 100th Anniversary of the end of World War 1 members of the church have undertaken to identify as many people on the War Memorial.

The events team organised another great coach trip for St Johns and the other churches in the West Worcester group of Churches, this time we all went to Highgrove, the home of HRH The Prince of Wales.
