Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
On September 12th, 100 of us are running - walking - rolling - pushing a wheelbarrow (or really whatever takes our fancy!) in a hundred mile relay race round Knowle village where our 15th century church building sits.
Each person does a mile before handing on the baton. I'm running the first leg (it's 9 years since I last jogged!) and I'll be pushed round in a wheelbarrow for another mile.
We're raising money for our For Future Generations Project. Our church is a living building that has changed over the centuries to accommodate the ever-shifting needs of the congregation and of the community.
The ‘For Future Generations’ project will make changes to the interior of the building to provide a more welcoming entrance annexe incorporating catering facilities and accessible toilets.
The simpler and more adaptable church interior will provide level, easier access around the building and more comfortable seating. It will suit modern forms of church service and better suit the needs of other users such as local schools and village societies.
New heating, lighting and AV systems will further enhance the way the building can be used.
Together, the proposed changes reflect our desire to fulfil our vision statement … to be a house of God’s light for all peoples and generations.
Could you spare £5 to encourage me as I trundle round (literally). It would be much appreciated.
PS When you come to the end of the process for making a donation, it asks you to add a proposed tip for Just Giving. this can easily be customised to a sensible level (£0 if if you want). Just follow the instructions to do that.)
Thank you
Geoff
