St Francis in the east Church

Queen Mary Street, Bridgeton.
St.Francis in the east Church of Scotland this is Dalmarnock school's church..

If you look closely you will see a dip in the road at the old Queen Mary St school gates which is caused by a collapsed sewer, unfortunately this is causing subsidence and our church has been designated a 'dangerous building'....see below

Extract from e-mail Oct 2002, Rev.Howard Hudson (Church minister)

"On Sunday 8th September we had a Special Thanksgiving Service in our church for the end of seven years of fabric renovation. The following Friday our church was designated a "Dangerous Building" caused by subsidence related to that dip in the road caused by a collapsed sewer.
..

Fortunately it looks like we've shored up the building in time because it's still standing firm, but it looks like we will be not able to get back into it till sometime next year. Please remember us in your prayers. In the meantime our 12.30 pm service is every Sunday in the 5-a-side football area in Church House, Boden Street."
