Having spoken to the architect this morning I can confirm that we will be ready to open on time. A strange statement perhaps but until one receives confirmation it is always niggling in ones mind.
The kitchen and baptistery are complete more or less, the painter is due to complete upstairs next week and the flooring company and going to come in and clean the floor on the Wednesday before we open - so I have to confess for the first time in 18 months to be quite relaxed about the state of play.
God is good and he has blessed us abundantly with this new building and I'm sure that when you get in and see the finished product you will feel truly blessed.
I have heard from so many people that they know of people who are planning on coming to take a look at us when we open. We have some exciting things planned for the church in the coming months which I am sure you will love. There will be things for all ages and all interests.
Its going to be great !

Two new buildings opening
A brand new church website has been built and is currently being finished ready for launch on 5th September. The website will be online but will also be presented in the office of the new building on the same day.
The last duty of this blog will be to post a report on the day along with photos of the events that take place. Then we will bow out and all future correspondence will be through the website. The new site which currently has a temporary notice on it is at
www.unionroadcommunitychurch.org.uk
visitors to our old site will be automatically redirected to the new site as well.

More Progress
The kitchen is scheduled for completion tomorrow and the baptistery shouldn't be too far behind. We still have a number of jobs left to complete including finishing off upstairs - its not a big job to do but its an important one as its an important one.
We have a number of small finishing off electrical items to take care of ideally before we open as well and we have to get final approval from building control. As with everything in this project we are on the edge of our seats !

New Picture
Today some of the fencing which has been in place for nearly a year has been removed to show the clean lines of our new building off to good effect. The remaining fences will be in place for another couple of weeks.

A busy week
This week is another busy one on site. Despite the fact the building is now in our possession we still have a couple of jobs to complete before we can open as a public building. These largely relate to fire doors but we are on the case.
The kitchen will be installed this week as will the baptistery tiling. Hopefully the upstairs painting and joinery will follow later in the week then we can get our certificates !

Moving On
The Oswaldtwistle Youth & Community Centre has been our home now for two and a half years. Its a fantastic venue and its treated us well. In some respects our new building has benefited from the experience we have gained in operating out of Harvey Street. The building compared to our own Melbourne Street premises was far superior in all respects.
Last Sunday we were packed in to the centre which generally means a congregation of 85 - 90 people. We could not have fitted any more people in.
This morning I spoke to Martin at the centre to give notice and to express our thanks for the use of the building. Our last meeting will be on 31st August - 4 weeks on Sunday.
