Church in St George to become community hub
A methodist church in St George’s had its final congregation on Sunday before it is transformed into a community hub.
Bethesda Methodist Church (formerly UMFC) will now be used by charity, the Spark Space as a community space, where people will be able to meet and take part in creative activities to open up the possibilities of “creativity, possibility and imagination”.
