The management team for the Lighthouse met last night for one of its regular (bi-monthly) informal meetings.There's too much to deal with in our other bi-monthly (more formal!) meeting, so we just get together to touch base over a coffee at 5.30pm.
The development of the cafe business is going well, as is the use of the various rooms in the building. We have also had the unexpected bonus of the main sanctuary now being used for conferences with catering through the Lighthouse. The major challenge we face is how to keep growing the work (esp the cafe). We have an excellent, but small core of volunteers. At the moment we can't really move much further forward without an increase in this level of volunteers. We need wisdom and imagination to work it all out. I'm sure there is a way forward, but we just haven't fully worked it out yet. I've highlighted the needs on a regular basis through Sunday worship, and we are slowly receiving additional support.
The other major bit of news is that we agreed to buy a deep fat fryer last night! There are plans to further diversify the menu and there is a significant demand for fries in the various surveys done.
