This week is actually hugely significant for our church as we start to lay the foundations not only for our building but also what it will be called, how it will be managed and what will take place in it.
As I stated in my previous post, the foundations will shortly be covered up and building 'on top' will commence.
On Friday we have a members meeting where we will be having a bit of fun trying to fathom a new name for the church and also get some ideas of what people want to see the building used for i.e. what activities we will have.
We will also be appointing a new church secretary (although a skirt is optional I believe) who will oversee the administrative side of the church with a team of people including a facilities manager (caretaker) and others to ensure that we are legislatively compliant, charities commission compliant, the building is maintained and so on. This is an exciting opportunity for the church because it will enable us to have a strong infrastructure and allow members of the church to actively participate in its running whether leaders or not.
This week we have submitted forms for CRB clearance for a number of our members to allow them to drive a bus to be chartered weekly from Dial a ride. This will allow us to pick people up who may otherwise not be able to get to church.
We have a bright future with many new opportunities and this week really plants the seeds for growth.
