Chelmsford church opens new hall

Publicity release:

Open House – come and see what’s been built for you!

This Sunday, the 21st January sees the opening of the new hall at The Church of the Good Shepherd, in Collier Row lane, Romford. For the members of the church and the surrounding community it’s been a long time coming but worth the wait. The old building had certainly seen better days and needed nothing short of being knocked down and that’s exactly what has happened. The old hall is no more and in its place is a beautiful, open, modern building.

‘It’s great to have a fantastic facility for all kinds of community and family activities and for all ages too, from little children, to young adults, right through to the Nanny’s and Grandad’s! The old building, with it’s high hedges and dingy façade was very off-putting, but the new building, even to look at is an invitation to anyone passing to come inside - with it’s glass fronted entrance and pleasing architecture it immediately says welcome, which is exactly what a church ought to be saying’ commented Michaela Hyde, a mother of two and church member.

But it’s not just the exterior that’s got the community excited - wait until you see what’s inside… To discover exactly that and find out how and why this building has been built with you in mind, come along on Sunday from 2.00-4.00pm and join the celebration. There will be exhibition material, PowerPoint presentations, people to talk to, food to eat, drinks to drink, and probably more besides. And remember, everyone’s invited, so just show up. If you do want any further information, please pop into the church office or phone on 01708 745626.
