At the Board meeting tonight, the main decision centred around re-wiring the church buildings. The cost will be in excess of £10,000. We are also projecting a deficit of £4000 based on our expected normal outcome, so we will have to give some consideration to how we are going to increase our income or decrease our costs.
We also continued to reflect on and discuss our vision for our buildings for the years ahead. I think it would be fair to say that we have a significant amount of work to do in terms of working this out. Over the next period of time, we plan to do a community audit to clearly establish what the local needs are and to encourage prayerful consideration of the issue within the congregation. It was interesting to hear the various views within the Board, and I look forward to seeing how this process unfolds over the coming months and years. On a more general level, it's really encouraging to be part of such an outstanding group of people within the Board who demonstrate a high level of commitment to enabling the ministry of Hilton Parish Church to go forward in a very positive way.
