£72,000! That was the amount given on our Gift Day Sunday towards the building project. Thanks to all those who have prayed and given and sowed in faith into the project. "God loves a cheerful giver". Thanks too to the generous folk who have given interest free loans which assist greatly. If for any reason you missed the Gift Day and would still like to invest in the Mission of the church - the Building Fund is still open.
The Gift Day Sunday morning was followed by our Newcomers Lunch - no less significant - with 25 newcomers to the church coming to lunch to meet each other and to meet some of the team. Building the church is not fundamentally about a physical building it is about people. Buildings house people so it was great to meet a very different group of newcomers some from Uganda, Zimbabwe and Farnborough - with some delightful and highly entertaining children!
I thank God for every pound given but even more than that, I thank Him for every person added to the church.
Build your church Lord - with people and resources.
