New Christian resource centre opens in Loddon

2010: After years of praying and planning, a new diocesan resource centre in Norfolk has opened its doors to welcome visitors. Inside is everything you would expect to resource work with children and young people.

The resource centre, located in St John's Church Loddon, contains a growing stock of ideas, programme guides, games, crafts, puppets, music, Godly Play, DVDs and yes, even flags!

St John’s is a Methodist Church used by the local community of Anglicans, Methodists and Roman Catholics, as well as many community groups. It is one minute off the A146 and has its own car park. The address is St John’s Church, George Lane, Loddon, NR14 6NB

Mark Heybourne, Youth & Children’s Work Co-ordinator for the Diocese of Norwich said, "We are very grateful to the volunteers (pictured above) who currently staff the church office, for their support in welcoming visitors to the centre and willingness to oversee its day to day running."
