The Church of St John the Wonderworker in Colchester will host an Open Day on Saturday, the 12th of September. This is the Saturday during the Heritage Weekend, during which buildings of historic significance are opened to the public.
Before being redundant for some years, St John's church served as the Garrison church in Colchester, and many people have fond memories of the building. Some pictures from its former days and its transformation into an Orthodox church may be seen on the diocesan photo gallery.
The church will be open from 12 noon. While the official open day will conclude at 5 p.m. the Vigil will be served at 5.30 as usual for a Saturday and all are welcome to attend.
For further details, please contact Fr Andrew Phillips.
