We are celebrating! St John’s Church is 750 years old
S
t John the Baptist Church, Keynsham is 750 years old in 2020 and we welcome everyone to come and join us as we celebrate this momentous milestone. On January 29th the year long programme of special birthday events launched with a peal of its iconic bells and A Songs of Praise service. In February, parishioners and Keynsham residents attended a Valentine’s Day Curry and Quiz Night. Events are still being planned by the committee, but the Church has planned to have at least one celebratory event in every month of 2020.
The Church is arguably the most significant historical building still standing in Keynsham and is extending an invite to everyone to: Celebrate its past, not just the building, but the people who have worshipped or been married, baptised or had a funeral within its walls. Come inside and be a part of today’s worshipping community. Consider and be a part of our vision for the future of the building and the role it has to play in the wider community.
