For the last few weeks we have had a gift event. The funds raised will help towards the costs of fittings for the Centre such a furniture and AV, as well as set up costs for the cafe. The Project Team are asking for £20,000. By Sunday, we had raised just over half the required amount. In my experience it is very rare for the funds to be raised ahead of schedule. Much of the funding for re-developing the Centre came in when we were right "on the wire!"
The amount of envelopes from individuals/families (47) indicates that as a Project team we still have a way to go in terms of envisioning the congregation. Hopefully a greater number of people will begin to see the bigger picture as the centre moves from planning to action. We will keep the gift event open and continue to exercise the faith and optimism which has taken us this far.
"My God will supply all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus." (Philipians 4 v19) In our experience, we have found God's resources to be more than ample for our needs.
