Recommendations from the Churchwardens to the PCC

The Churchwardens have looked closely at the needs

of the building and ask the PCC to take note of the

following recommendations:

1. Repair the guttering on the church roof.


2. Redecorate the church hall.


3. Replace worn carpet in church hall.


4. Renovate ladies’ and gents’ toilet facilities.


5. Replace pews in church building with chairs, and
   carpet the church throughout. This will cost a great
   deal of money. It is therefore recommended that the
   congregation be informed and asked to contribute to
   the cost. The following recommendations are also
   made.
   a. The collection on Sunday 23 June should be set
   aside for this purpose.
   b. Members of the congregation should be invited to
   contribute to the building fund on a regular basis.
   c. A day of prayer should be held on Saturday 22
   June to pray that enough money will be given and
   pledged to allow us to continue using our
   buildings.
