Update on Church Building Search.
At present, as we have shared, from May 1st, we will need to leave this church building as it will be sold. We continue to search for another building to meet. Invite church members to continue to hold our search for a new venue in your personal and small group prayers. Do come along to the prayer concert (this Thursday) where there will be a time of prayer for a new building. We will keep you informed for progress as it occurs.
