The Minister read chapters from 1 Samuel as part of the venture to mark 400th Anniversary of King James Bible in 2011.

At 4.00 p.m. on each weekday of business over the course of 2011, a passage from the King James Bible is being read aloud in the shop so that the entire bible will be read in a year.
