The Porch

The porch was built soon after the Second World War (around 1950). Nowadays it has noticeboards to give advance notice of church events and hold displays that relate to Church seasons of services. Click on the pictures to see larger versions (100k each).

It is the church's point of contact with the outside world. The Church of England has links throughout the world and as an individual church St John's has many links with the wider community. In Ainsdale the Church is involved in, amongst other things...

Churches Together is Ainsdale
the Community Care Scheme, this provides meals for the elderly both in a luncheon club and to those who are housebound.

As a church we also support a variety of charities, each year we donate a percentage of our income to charities. One charity we have particular links to is Hospice Africa, a charity that has set up a hospice in Uganda to provide palliative care and also provides training in palliative care for health professionals throughout sub-Saharan Africa.

We would also like to hear from those who visit us on the web. Please feel free to send us feedback and sign our visitor's book
