The Parish Church of St. John the Divine, Coppull

If you are a small business/group looking to hire the church hall on a regular weekly basis please, BE AWARE, you will have your agreement terminated if the church recognises it can make more money from another user. I previously taught a successful weekly, one hour dance fitness class at St John's for many years. It helped many women in the local community keep fit and healthy. The church has now stopped my agreement in favour of offering my previous time slot to a new user. My understanding is this new group will be using the hall for more than one hour. Whilst I understand the Church can make more money from this group, the hall was never used after my agreed booking. They could have offered a later time slot that would have been a 'win win' for all. ~The Church would make even more money. ~The new group would have secured a booking and I could still keep mine. ~I could still keep my business going continuing which in turn, would still contribute to the church's finances. To have had what I believed to be a mutual understanding and respect with Saint John's for many years, I feel disappointed and sad to be dismissed which so far has only been communicated to me by a telephone call! I wrote to the Reverend with details on how my class benefits the older, active women within the local community, together with a self stamped addressed envelope, still no reply. My last feelings are that Saint John's Church does not truly represent Christianity within the local community.
