It’s been a while coming, but we’re finally at the point of beginning our work at the gchurch building. On 28th January 2019, the contractors moved in to the building to start taking it apart to renovate it. At first it will seem that all we’re doing is making matters worse - but we’ll need to keep the faith (if you’ll pardon the pun)!
As businesses would say in a situation like this, it’s still “Business as Usual” The building may be closed for the best part of a year, but the ‘church’ is still there - we’ll simply be meeting in the Parish Hall on Sunday mornings at 11am. We had our first in this series of meetings yesterday, and the atmosphere and worship was just as excellent as ever. Please feel free to come along and join us as we continue to worship God.
We will use this period as an opportunity to renew our faith, our worship, our church culture, our very reason to be God’s people in this Parish. It is our desire to continue to welcome all visitors, and treat all our guests as friends by the time they leave us.
Here are a few photos to keep us reminded of how the church looked after we had removed the pew runners, kneelers and all the books. Thanks to the whole team who worked very hard to move everything across from the church to the Parish Hall.
All our gifts that we’ve been blessed with will still be remembered in the new and improved building, but as a vestry, the decision was taken to not ask anyone to donate anything to replace earlier gifts. We will reuse anything that we can, and anything that needs to be replaced will be done so by the church itself.
