During July we completed the move to our contemporary new church building. Planning is well advanced for the official opening on August 14^th. Now after many years all our congregations, including Cantonese and Mandarin, are meeting under the same roof. Our old building has been handed over to Baptcare, who are developing a major new retirement facility on the site. Former prison chaplain Ian Whitehill addressed our 50s Plus monthly meeting, and we raised a small sum for Prison Fellowship. Our playgroup, which used to meet twice a week, now meets on four mornings a week and is considering adding extra times to meet growing demand for this community outreach. Preparatory work has begun for a new community orchestra.
