Following a dedication of the site of the Atrium after the morning service on Sunday 25th October (below) building begun on 16th November with completion due in January 2010.  The Atrium will provide an indoor link between the Welcome Hall (completed in 2007) and the older Fellowship Hall at the rear of our Church site.  This is another exciting phase in the life of our fellowship, brought about by the generosity of a significant donation from a Church member and by grants from charitable trusts. 

We thank God for his provision of enabling this generosity, which has made this new phase in our Church life possible - especially so, as we could never have expected to be able to construct the Atrium so soon after the completion of the Welcome Hall (Phase 1 of the project).  Praise Him!
