2 weeks to go until our Gift Day. The Gift Day is for the new Beacon Centre. The new centre will house most of our Monday - Sunday lunchtime ministries. Presently, these are spread in 6 locations across the town. Sunday mornings, for the time being, will continue to be held at Kings International College but the new Centre will give us all kinds of flexibility.
Most of our mid-week activities: Golden Years, Smarties, Boys Club, Youth, seminars, Training Courses, staff, pastoral care, band rehearsals, Newfrontiers regional events and more will be based at the new Centre. So when you give on the Gift Day on Sunday 17th October you are giving not just to a building but to ministry. The building is a tool for ministry - a tool for the gospel. The new building will mean that 100s and 1,000s of men and women, young people and children will be able to hear about the love of God in Christ.
The new building is scheduled to be opened in April '11.
So far we have £1.1m in the bank - amazing. Praise God. We have £525,000 to go.
Between now and then let me encourage you to pray - ask God what your response should be on 17th October. 1\2 a million to go. What an adventure of faith!
