MEMBERS of Bromsgrove Baptist Church have literally been following in the footsteps of the organisation’s founder to mark the organisation’s 350th birthday.
John Eccles, a young clothier, walked from Bewdley to Bromsgrove in 1666 to start the church by speaking to local people.
The commemorations will continue tomorrow (Sunday) when Tom Cox, a young minister from Bewdley, will head to the Bromsgrove Baptist Church to speak at the 10.30am service.
The programme of events, which will culminate in a weekend of fun family events on November 19 and 20, are open to everyone.
The Big Birthday Bash Messy Church event will be followed by a Ceilidh that evening.
Then on November 20, international speaker David Coffey will be joining members for a celebration lunch.
