The work on the church hall, where all our community work with children and older people is focussed, continues apace!It seems like we have been preparing for this for ever, but a scheme like this is so large and so important for us and for our town that we have to get every detail right: plus it takes a while to draw all the finance into place.
The next step on that front is our latest application, back to the Big Lottery, and if we are successful, this will take us all the way to our grand total. The picture is of what the application pack looks like on the kitchen table!
Big thanks to Esther for putting in so much work, to Marcus for all his contributions, to David Harvey our architect for so much detail, to Thomas Pinhorn for advice along the way, and to countless others without whom an application like this would simply be impossible.
BUT NOW - we need everyone to join in. It's time to pray! The turn around on an application is six months, and we need to own this now, to make it our regular prayer, to bless the folk at Lottery and seek the Lord's face that he would look with favour upon us and grant us favour in the eyes of those whose job it is to examine all the claims that come across their desks. If we have missed things out or just made mistakes, we need opportunity to put that right; and if there are questions we need to make clearer, then we need chance to do so.
Most of all, we really desire to be successful with our bid because we long to make this building project a reality so we can serve more and more people in Pontypridd, and make life better for them. Let's pray!
