St. John's church (Würzburg )
The St. John's Church is the second Evangelical Lutheran Church in Würzburg. It was on 24 June 1895 consecrated to John the Baptist. The church is located in the city center of Würzburg about 200 meters northeast of the Residence at the confluence of Hofstallstraße into the Husarenstraße. It is because of the road network not exactly oriented to the east, but points towards the northeast.
Architecture
The church burned down during World War II after the bombing of Würzburg on 16th March 1945. The remaining ruined tower was redesigned by the Munich architect Reinhard Riemerschmid (1914-1996) in the years 1956/57. To this end Riemerschmid flanked the helmet-less ruined tower with two slender pyramids with an octagonal base. These are slipped over the former stair towers and form as it were a two-tower facade of 60 meters. The towers are made of a steel construction with a light gray fiber cement slab cladding. Since this conversion, the Church with a trapezoil floor plan has the character of a memorial.

The original building of St. John's church was a longhouse with three naves. Today's church is a single hall building, which is kept simple in its decor. Seven reinforced concrete beams that taper from top to bottom divide the room inside and give the space together with the from the inside visible saddle roof form a tent-like appearance. The ceilings for better acoustics are paneled with light, sound-absorbing Odenwaldplatten (plates).
Eye-catching inside the church is a monumental, larger than life linden wood sculpture, which attached to two ropes hangs over the altar area. The plastic Christ the Judge of World comes from the Munich sculptor Helmut Ammann. Christ while doing so is flanked by two trumpet-blowing cherubs and thrones with opened book on a rainbow.

I love exploring the shipyard, which closed in 1996. It has an amazing number of structures dating from the 1950s to the present day. There are suprises around every corner.
Currock Jn, Carlisle. Straight ahead are the avoiding lines (with the lower speed) now trains can go to Hexham, Appleby or Penrith but no longer north to Kingmoor. To the right are the lines to Carlisle station.
Top Points is normally used for the steam locomotive hauled trains to reverse the locomotive for the climb to Clarence, or the descent to Bottom Points. When the tour is operated by the railmotors, all that is required is for the driver to change ends on the platform. Passengers are still encouraged to alight the train and take in the impressive view however!

Before Points West Living Wetaskiwin opened its doors in July 2018, General Manager Tamara Thomas was dreaming of music. A musician herself, Tamara knows well how music can resonate with people at any stage of life.
Tamara’s vision and research led her to apply for a grant from the federal government’s New Horizons Seniors Program to purchase the tools to build a music program for residents of PWL Wetaskiwin. Her application was accepted, and the community is now home to a baby grand piano, a stage, and a sound system.
