The woolpack hub grand opening!
After years of hard work, especially on the part of God, many, many prayers, a few miracles and one or two sleepless nights, the Woolpack Hub was officially opened on Saturday the 24th of May, 2014. A former pub, the Woolpack had laid empty and in need of whole scale restoration, opposite our church in Bedford town centre, for a number of years. God gave us a vision and the means to be able to purchase the property and completely transform the old drinking hole into a wonderful community facility. Instead of the old bar you will now find a coffee shop, meeting/conference room facilities and a soon to be games area. Outside, the old car park and waste land has given way to a state of the art MUGA (Multi Use Games Area) available to be used by anyone from the local community, young or old... or even that age in between, when you're not sure if you are young or old!
The opening day was fantastic and it commenced with the official opening with both the Mayor and MP for Bedford. This was swiftly followed by penalty shoot out between the Mayor and MP against Patch the Dog on the new MUGA. Throughout the day there were numerous activities provided by both our church and the local community, including, worship groups, Indian dancers, choirs, football tournaments, amusements, a visit from the local Fire Service, face painting, a BBQ, street dancers and much more...
Below are just a few photo's from the day which would not have been possible with out the hard work and determination of a lot of people, but most of all, it would not have been possible without God. To Him we give all glory and praise for his provision.

The Salvation Army in BedfordWelcome to your Salvation Army Church in Bedford website. We are a lively and active church, with a mission to show Christian love in action and to lead people to Jesus Christ.
We are all about people and our doors are open seven days a week. We are not just a Sunday church - you will find things going on every day and people getting involved in and outside of our buildings in many different ways. Our strategy is to provide an opportunity for believers to develop their relationship with Jesus Christ, and provide an opportunity for non-believers to encounter Jesus Christ. We actively support our worshipping community to respond to the various needs of Bedford's communities. |
