Dedication of new font

16/04/2012

Yesterday morning (Sunday 15th April) a new font was dedicated during the morning Communion Service at St John's Church Neville's Cross by Revd Barnaby Huish. St John's was able to commission the font after being left a bequest for a work of art by Margaret Rodgers.

The font was designed and made in glass by Janet Rogers who is based in the Crushed Chilli Gallery, South Street, Durham.

Janet, who joined the congregation for the service of dedication, said, "I am so pleased to have been given the commission to design and manufacture this Font. It is unlike anything I have ever done before, the design incorporates the holy trinity three crosses and fishes; bright vibrant and colourful to express the bold style in which I work."
