A FLOWER and craft festival this weekend marks the conclusion to a year of celebrations for a Darlington church.
For the past 12 months Eastbourne Methodist Church on Yarm Road has been celebrating a dual anniversary - that of the centenary of the opening of the church in Louisa Street and the 21st birthday of the new church premises on Yarm Road.
The festival opens on Saturday, from 10am to 5pm and Sunday noon-3.30pm. Refreshments will be available and lunch will be served on Saturday from 11.45m to 2pm. Entrance costs £2, including a programme.
A harvest thanksgiving family service will be led by the Rev Tony Malcolm on Sunday at 10.30am. A Centenary thanksgiving service will be led at 6pm by district chairman the Rev Graham Carter.
