 Preparations for the external repaint started to appear today in the shape of the scaffolding needed to reach the eaves of the main church building. The whole external woodwork is going to be repainted. This area has not been properly done since the early nineteen nineties.
Our fence to the drive next door has been held together with the ivy for some time. Decision time to replace. The demolition was not hard and the skip rapidly filled. The new wooden fence was erected and looks much straighter and nicer now. We seem to have a boiler which is demanding attention. With it being a bank holiday weekend it will be Monday before it will be looked at so we have had to cancel this coming Sunday service with Fiona Beadle. Hopefully we shall be back next week.
*** Update *** Now fixed and we are warm again. Both our toilets are now twinned with the toilet twinning charity who have sent us our certificates. So next time you go to the loo take your google maps with you on the phone and look up our twin loo! To keep abreast of hygiene regulations the kitchen has had new sinks fitted so that we have a separate hand wash only sink. New work tops and a new set of draws have also been fitted. The chapel has seen a full make over with a complete repaint. Looks lovely in its new colour scheme and the whole church has had a top to bottom clean. The painters have done a nice job and thanks to all the ladies who gave their time to return the church to its new glory. Our chapel has a small but dedicated army of volunteers who keep the place looking lovely. This time of year the gardens and lawns look magnificent whilst cleaning the interior is a constant job. Without these tireless volunteers the chapel would not be the place it is. Here are some of our dedicated band of helpers. To improve security of the site and to avoid unwanted use of the carpark new yellow removeable bollards are now in operation. These T shaped posts are locked into place and will be locked into the stands at the sides when the carpark is open for use.  Updated board Many of you will have met our new minister but how many of you have spotted that our church notice board is now up to date? After being blown away in the winter storms, it was rescued and remounted and has now been updated with our new minister Rev Farai Mapamula.
