RESTORATION PROJECT COMPLETED IN 2009

The church restoration project, which was set up in June 2001 to raise funds to restore the church building, has now come to a successful end. Most of what we set out to achieve has now been completed, though there are some remaining matters to be attended to, among them the provision of disabled access to the building, which is now being dealt with by the Management Committee. It was felt at the last meeting of the sub-committee that its major work of fundraising had been completed, and that any remaining electrical or lighting work, and any future restoration work (such as the restoration of the stained glass windows, for example) should be handled by the Management Committee. We are recommending that the special restoration bank account be kept open for continuing donations for this work.

We felt that in the current economic environment, some people may wish to discontinue their regular donations to the fund. Others may wish to continue making donations, and if they do, the income will be very welcome and they may be assured that the money will go towards further restoration.

We would like to thank all our donors, especially those whom we have never met, but who generously sent us contributions for our important work. Our beautiful building is now secure for future generations of our growing congregation.
