Ministers Letter

We are delighted that the final phase of our redevelopment is under way.  The building work should finish before Christmas.  Then the kitchen will be refitted and there will be some rewiring to do.  

We are still fundraising for this but confident we can now proceed to improve the access and facilities for all our community rooms behind the church. 

During the rebuilding work we are still able to use the church and the hall.  We are very grateful for all who have made this redevelopment possible including church members who have worked hard and given sacrificially over the past 10 years.  

This year is the 400th anniversary of the King James/Authorised Version.  It is amazing that this one version of the Bible has been in continuous print for that length of time, and has sold 1 billion copies.  Remarkable in the impact it has had on English language and culture not simply in our own country but across the world.  Even most importantly inspiring and shaping the lives of countless individuals who through it have discovered God’s love and purpose.

Our members are being challenged to read 100 carefully selected, ‘essential’, short Bible passages - 50 from the Old Testament and 50 from the New Testament.   Pick up an ‘E100’ planner from our church if you would like to join in.  My life was changed when I began to read the Bible on a regular basis and I pray that you will likewise discover more of God’s love and purpose through such reading or indeed through visiting or sharing in any activities that occur at our church.
