A Message from Barry Cocks Church Secretary Hello and welcome to the August/September Message. The introduction to this message is always a bit difficult to write because it covers a holiday month and then a month which we consider to be the start of the education/academic year. So as I sit writing this in July, do I hope you have a good holiday or have had a good holiday? Anyway, either way I wish you God’s blessing on all you do. As I’ve reported previously we are still searching for a new minister and that search goes on, the Deacon’s are doing a great job, but at the moment we are no closer to appointing a person to the post. The other huge project, of course, is our rebuild and the new hall is coming on really well, in fact on the old premise that a picture is worth a thousand words, here are a couple of pictures of the building at the moment. Hope this gives you a flavour of what the new building looks like, there is still plenty to do before the rooms are ready for use. Can you help? We need your support in the following areas; financial; is there something you could pay for? Can you give some regular time to help with the work? Or perhaps experience and knowledge to help out with the planning, grant applications or general organisation? Why not have a chat with me or any of the project team if you can help in any of these areas or any other you can think of? In the meantime we are hoping to have the rooms at the rear of the Church ready for use in September, when the children start Seekers. This is quite a short timescale but with your help and the support of our Lord I’m sure we will give it a good try. In closing, I just wanted to ask you to keep the Church here at Quinton Park in your prayers as we continue to minister to our members, friends and the people of Cheylesmore. Wishing you all God’s blessings. Barry Cocks Church Secretary
