This spring, St Michael’s Church will take two exciting steps towards priorities set in Our Big Project, these being:
1. Installing a semi-permanent additional building (a shed!) adjacent to the north of the church for use by children’s groups.
2. Installing modern audio visual media equipment in the vicars’ vestry for use by children’s and youth groups.
Just imagine:
*in the new building the children will have learning opportunities with no worries about noise or space. Exciting and meaningful activities can occur, to inspire our younger church members.
* in the vestry a wide range of media will be used to help the children and youth grow in God’s love and we all know how well our youngsters respond to modern media. There will be no limit on the exciting opportunities this will create.
Also, this will ease pressure on the adult congregation during Rolling Worship in terms of space and noise. In addition the new building may be used for storage or administrative work and the new media equipment will be available for use by other groups in non-service times.
Our Big Project’s first priorities were set by the PCC to develop our work with the children and youth groups and to install modern media facilities. These exciting developments will do just this.
Meanwhile a project manager has been appointed, with a brief to produce a building development plan for the next stage of Our Big Project.
