Work is continuing. Sockets, switches and lights are prepared, skirting boards are in place and painted and radiators are being installed.

Leaping and Bounding (at last) recommences
After a long period of inactivity, work is now proceeding on the new church building.
All our plans to celebrate our 150th Anniversary in the new building evaporated, much to our great disappointment. Hence the great silence here on our web-site.
However, the plasterboarding and plastering are done and painting and fitting is now underway. We are very much hoping that it will be full-steam ahead to a completion of 1st April 2016.
Below are a few photos taken last week.
Hall – front view, with a fire door out onto the carpark.
Back of the hall. The entrance into the hall is on the right. The next door (unlit) is into the storeroom and the third door is to the kitchen (lit). The final door is another fire door which aligns to the pavillion’s fire door
Entrance Hall
the visible doors are to the Disabled Toilet and the Male/Female toilets. Immediately to the right (not visible) is the door to the office, and hidden behind the yellow packaging is the door to the kitchen.
Coming on in leaps and bounds
The roof is in place and work is underway on the interior.
The second and third photos below show the worship space/hall, front and back. Behind the wall at the back, the batons are being put in place for the interior walls to the kitchen, toilets and storage.
We have some roof tiles!
Work continues on the new building as the roof tiles are now being put up.
Can you spot the cross in the brickwork on the gable end? – there will also be a cross over the entrance just to emphasise that, despite some doubters, this will be – first and foremost – a church!
Sadly, we have not been meeting for worship for a number of weeks due to my health issues, but I’m ever-hopeful this will not last much longer – so watch this space!!
New building update – good progress!
The building work is moving on at a pace now. This photo was taken last week and when I popped round earlier today, the brickwork is now ready to receive the roofing structure!
Keep up the good work guys!
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No it’s …..
…….. A DIGGER!
On the weekend when we celebrate that “all good gifts around us are sent from heaven above”, he also sends a digger! So we will have an even greater reason to thank the Lord at our Harvest Supper this evening and at our Harvest Festival service tomorrow morning.
Come and join us – we’re the ones wearing huge grins!!!!
The Lighthouse team does it again!
A great effort once again as the team raised £366 for this great charity.
And thanks to Park Cakes for their gift of sumptuous cakes.
Lighthouse for Macmillan
This Friday (26th Sept) the Lighthouse team are holding a coffee morning for Macmillan Cancer Support.
There’ll be a ‘prize every time’ Tombola and a book sale as well as copious amounts of tea and coffee and cake (with grateful thanks to Park Cakes) all served with a smile by the Lighthouse team.
Do come along and join us, and raise funds for this worthwhile charity.
SSShhh! Don’t tell anyone …..
…… but there is security fencing installed on the Holt Lane site and there is a very serious risk that the new build is getting underway.
The Lighthouse team are holding a Springtime Coffee Morning on Friday 16th May. There’ll be refreshments, cakes, a bookstall and a ‘prize every time’ tombola. The proceeds will go to the ‘New Church’ Fund, so come along and support us, and have some fun too!
