EBBC COLLAGES INITIATIVES - THANKS TO JOAN GRAY

Around the walls of the church are five collages by Margaret Bacon, portraying the central aspects of the life and worship of the church. They depict the people of God at worship, work and leisure, serving the community, the world church and the church triumphant. They are a source of inspiration to all who meditate upon them.

During the course of the Christian year seasonal banners are displayed over the communion table. These were designed and created by the Church Administrator, Joan Gray
