Burnham-On-Sea Baptist Church holds successful open weekend

Hundreds of supporters flocked to Burnham-On-Sea's Baptist Church when it opened its doors for an open weekend including a flower festival and various live music events.

The special event marked the church's successful completion of various improvements, including the replacement of uncomfortable pews with new comfortable chairs, and the carpeting of the whole inside of the building.

The Burnham Area Evening Flower Club decorated the church with ten floral displays, including the one pictured at the top of this page called 'The Good Shepherd'.

Minister Rev Steve Ayers said a range of musical performances had also been laid on during Saturday (April 28th) with participants including Berrow School Drumming Group, Wessex Woodwinds and the Burnham Excellent Entertainment Society (BEES).

"It's been a superb event," he said. "It was very well supported and gave us an opportunity to show everyone the changes we've made, which have been very well received."
