A very exciting weekend for the folk at King Street Congregational Church Newcastle Under Lyme as they celebrate 150 years of the present building. On Saturday the church was open to view records of the church's history and look at a lovely display of wedding dresses worn over the years. They were thrilled with the numbers who dropped in.
Hilary, the church secretary, talks to one of the many people who made this weekend possible.
On Sunday I led the morning's worship when a beautiful banner was dedicated. It had been made by a group of ladies from the church depicting 'Revelation' to balance one already in place on the other side of the church of 'Genesis'.
On Sunday evening there was a wonderful songs of praise when we sang favourite hymns chosen by individuals who explained why they had chosen them. Many people who had had associations with the church joined in this celebration. I am sure there will be a fuller account in The Congregationalist!
