At Lion Walk Church, we celebrated an anniversary at the beginning of November 2016: it was 250 years ago that our church opened its first building on the present site in Lion Walk. So we celebrate our church’s long history at Lion Walk, giving thanks for the faith and dedication of those who, 250 years ago, planted a church and shared a vision of a centre of Christian worship in which God’s glory would be proclaimed. It was wonderful to share fellowship and worship, ending the weekend with the choir leading us in our annual Choral Evensong. We are grateful to all those who attended from our current congregation and those we have not seen for some time, a number of whom had travelled significant journeys to join in the joy of our celebrations.
What does the church do today?
