Our Shop is at

“Let’s open a shop!”
At the suggestion of the then Archdeacon, David Jennings, Barbara Blackwell whose idea it was to open a shop wrote a booklet published in 1999. In the forward the Bishop of Chelmsford wrote “’Let’s open a shop’ is the story of how the shop was conceived and set up to support Christ Church’s Development Fund. But it tells much more that the story of fund raising; the book is the story of the discovery of a new and extra dimension of Christian love within both church membership and with non-members: it tells how the shop, initially set up to raise funds, became an embassy for mission for Christ Church”.
And I am very proud to say this remains so today, thanks to a dedicated group of volunteers. (Rev Simon Roscoe 2009)
