Dear Friends,

Is the Local Church Still Relevant? 

For some years now we have been losing the importance of the local church – the attention we had when nothing else much was going on.  Services for baptisms, marriages and funerals were all conducted at the local Church. 

In recent years things have moved on at quite a pace, the local church is not the only ‘open door’ in town anymore.  Sunday morning choice of entertainment has escalated, as well as the attraction of Sunday shopping and various sporting activities.

“But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness.”

Village Hall Project

 Poringland Village Hall Project

 

Movement on plans for the village hall development have progressed significantly this year and we now have drawings in place which, subject to expert advisory input, noise levels, etc. may well be ready for submission to the planners within the next few months.

 

The Playgroup and After School Group organisers have been consulted and will be supporting us when we come to launch our fund-raising effort. Tim Bunn continues as our main project designer and manager and is doing a first class job.  Initial estimates for this first stage funding is around £21,000 which we can meet from early donations, however a much greater figure will be needed to move to the next stage. Grant giving bodies will be approached and in leading that we are still hoping for help from an expert.
