Location:
at a fairly major road junction in Northwich, Cheshire
When visited:
28th August, 2005, 10am
First Impressions:
The building was fairly full, with well over 200 people. Nice new socialising area at the back of church
Welcome:
Pretty friendly after the service - free drinks and cakes provided. Lots of people talking - I mostly spoke to the few people I already knew.
Type of Service:
"Family Worship with baptism". Printed sheet provided with song words and basic liturgy.
Music:
Band playing well but not ostentatiously, mixture of modern stuff and traditional. Singing was pretty good.
Sermon:
Excellent. Mike Smith (vicar) preaching on Jonah 3-4. Very accessibly done with very good use of powerpoint. He preached the passage, clear for everyone on both judgement and mercy, challenging for both Christians and non-Christians.
Overall:
Great. Reinforced the reasons I aim to come here when in mid-Cheshire.

Thanks - I've corrected it in the posts. As you can see by the date, this is an old post...
Very quick update - thanks! I only found it by accident (it showed up on Google when I searched for stjohns.f2s.com by mistake). Interesting blog.
