12 December for the opening service led by the Rural Dean for Chichester, Richard Hunt. The picture shows the crowd beginning to gather, at about 9:55.The service, which lasted about ten minutes, was an expression of thankfulness to God that Christians working together in Chichester have been able to get to this point. A selection of readings and prayers emphasied the place of the literature in its place of directing people's hearts toward God, and asked - in keeping with the goals of the shop - that it would be a ministry to those who use it.
Bradley Smith (Bookshop Manager) with Richard Hunt, the Rural Dean.We who are trustees are thankful to God for the help of the Chichester Diocese who have supported us by providing the building for us to use. We recognise that we share the stewardship of a property that believers through many centuries have used in worship of God, and pray that its current use will further that cause.
