Light house presentation

Crown Church are launching a cafe in the Kingsmills area in the near future. Their Kirk Session came to the Light house today for a day conference, and as part of their programme they invited Iain Ross, Gwen Barlow and myself to tell the story of the development of the Light house. Our presentation was well recieved and it was good to be able to encourage another church looking to launch out on a venture like this. It was a first for the Light house in terms of hosting such a gathering. The kitchen also served a lunch for the first time as part of the conference.Last Sunday, we hosted a baptismal party, so we are slowly getting experience in a variety of different events. Next week, we hope to be able to appoint a deputy manager, and this we expect will lead to lunches being served and longer opening hours. Iain and Gwen's presentations were a reminder of the massive amount of work which has gone into getting the Centre this far. It's great to see the Centre beginning to gather momentum in terms of many different groups and individuals beginning to use it regularly.
