In 1954, a wooden hut was erected on a piece of
ground bordering the A10 and the Elsinge Estate, and St John Methodist Church
had arrived. Many people who supported St John in "The Hut" looked
forward to the time when a proper brick building would be built. This in fact
took place in 1959 and, from then on, we felt we had a real building that was
fit to call Our Church. The congregation grew, and various groups from
the local community started to meet in our new building. The 16th Enfield Company
of the Boys' Brigade, begun in 1957, and a very thriving Sunday School, were
both well attended by the children living on the estate. Today, the Boys'
Brigade continues as well as Guides, Brownies, and Rainbows, an After School Club for youngsters, |
and
a Holiday Club during the summer holidays. There is a Mother and Toddler
group, a playgroup, an art class, a women’s fellowship group, a coffee
morning, and a luncheon club. Over
the years, many well-loved members and friends have passed through the doors,
people who have given their time and their love to keep the church alive. Our
worshipping congregation has fluctuated over the years, from just three at
our services at one time to our main hall "bursting at the seams"
with over 200 present for special occasions. Whatever our numbers, we hope
and pray that there will be a worshipping community at St John Church on the
Eisinge Estate for many years to come. |
