Gift Day
It has been great to be back in the building the last few months. The last few jobs are going to be happening over the coming weeks, plaster in the old vestry (toilet area), painting the arch, chancel & back wall and a few electrical jobs. We should be looking amazing for Christmas!
It has been incredible over the past 2 years to see how God has provided the money for the roof project, when we have needed it. So far, we have raised £304,526 through donations, fundraising and grants - this is an incredible amount, thank you. We have only £23,000 to go to reach our target. It would be amazing if we could get this amount pledged or donated before the end of the year. (It would also mean that we can take the pressure off the fundraising!)
On Sunday 27th November (at all of our services) we will be holding a gift day to raise the rest of the money needed.
Please pray, to ask God to guide us, to help us trust him (yes we acknowledge things are tough financially for many at the moment) and to help us be generous. There are so many examples, in the Bible, and also today, of how people have given sacrificially and how God has continued to provide and bless them. Maybe for you this is a trust exercise that God will provide and be faithful. Our gift day will be an opportunity for us, as church family to dig deep and donate or pledge to donate (say over the coming 6 months). In many cases this will be a step of faith, but we trust that God will provide for us, both as a church, but also for us individually.
Donation and pledge forms are available in church or they can be downloaded here. Remember too that if you pay tax then if you gift aid your donation we can claim an additional 25% back from the government.
It would be such an amazing end to a quite incredible, rebuilding year, if we could raise the remaining funds.
