Scary moment

I have just sent off an application to the Cathedrals and Major Churches people for some serious funding.

If it succeeds – if we can raise the £73,000 match funding – we can start to renew our failing roof.

We can’t do it all; not quite.  The low roof to the south (the “south aisle”) will have to wait its turn – and we will need to do something about the gutters too.  But the exciting thing is that – if we are successful – we can at last begin to make some progress with restoring the church to its proper place in our community – as an open, welcoming, warm and comfortable haven.  Seven days a week!

Watch this space!

And watch out for ways that you can help too.  (And that’s not just a request for you to put your hand in your pocket – though that will be useful!!)
