The Mctorfa Hall Itself was deslgned In the style of a theatre to appeal to the ordlnary person In the street and make them more at ease than in a tradltional church setting. Concerts and Fllm shows were held in the hall. often on a kturdayi and durin¥ the show a represerrtatNe of the Church invlted the audience to attènd the Church service the following day, and many Intleed did.
