LONDON JESUS Centre is situated in the very heart of the capital, moments walk from Oxford Circus. This newest Jesus Centre is now open to the public

A staff team and 70 volunteers have been trained up to serve. And lots of equipment has been donated to help with the programme of services.

Tom Spooner, a volunteer, enthuses: "It's been great to make contact with the local community and to hear them saying that the Centre gives them hope for the future."

The Jesus Centre is grouping its activities under four "umbrella titles":

Welcome: practical help including a drop-in which will offer a comfortable space with friendship and support for people with housing and other social problems.

Word: a tea room for local people, workers, students and anyone using the Centre.

Works: a programme of educational, recreational and support groups - from Toddlers Group (bring a parent) to Arts and Crafts, Cookery and much more.

Worship: the life of Jesus Fellowship London - from small groups to large Sunday meetings.

All are welcome.
