Where has the time gone?
Well it is the beginning of a new year already. Where has the time gone?
At Scampton Church we are looking forward to a really exciting 2017. As well as being a place where Christ’s love is preached – in a not stuffy way – we want to do more for our community.
We have a wonderful building which we would like to share. At the moment you might think it isn’t quite conducive to social events, but we are changing that. Plans are already in hand to remove the pews and replace them with stackable chairs so the church building can be used for different community events.
We are hoping to move the font to where it was originally in Victorian times. This will open up the bell tower for kitchen facilities. It will take some time to rund-raise for a permanent toilet, so for fundraisers and special occasion we have kindly been offered a portable loo. We are all buzzing with excitement over these plans.
We have also recently been awarded money for a retractable screen which will enable us to have paperless services. It will also be useful for fundraising – Flix in the Stix and illustrated talks.
This is our new ongoing journal page which aims to keep everyone up to date with Scampton Church, our worship during 2017 and onward into the 21st century. Remember that you can also follow us on Facebook as well.
May we take this opportunity to wish you a very happy and hope filled new year.
