Another day of Kitchen development

Most of the plastering is now done and lots of wall units are built and fitted.  Next week we hope to fit the boiler, water heater and cooker & hood.
Good Job Mark!

More progress on the kitchen

Mark and Co have made really good progress over the last few days with the new kitchen.  The Electrics, water and gas are now ready for the appliances to go in.  The new window is fixed and the hatch is taller than it used to be (no more bending down!)  Our favourite old cooker came apart on tuesday and now lives on a rubbish pile, possibly to be born again as a car?  Today Mark has started plastering the walls and most of the base units are built and ready to be fitted.

Student finance seminar

Thanks so much to Rob Cott who did an excellant 'finance for students and young people' seminar. Very helpful

Levites - June 09

Just finalising the themes for this year's 'Equipping the Levites' evenings. They run each Monday night in June for musicians, singers and worshippers, basically to help anyone whose ministry involves the worship life of the church, or people who just like to join in! The evenings are designed for worship teams across the town so if you know people involved in leading worship in other congregations do invite them

visitors lunch

Every so often we do a lunch for people who have been to the church half a dozen times or less and want to find out a bit more about us, and meet a few others. The next one is this Sunday after the 2nd service. If you'd like to come along please contact us by Fri lunchtime
