It's not so long ago since the front was set up (1981?)
And we've already done plenty of things (Endeavour Hall below)
Why do we want to think about this now?
The opportunity has come up.
Don and Shirley Nichols are travelling maintenance workers who have a ministry to Baptist Churches, mostly in NSW. They recently put some storage cupboards in for Griffith Baptist Church, Kevin Webb is happy with the work, no problems.
Saturday 4th April Don had a look around the church. What Damien was thinking of on the back of the Sunday School Hall wouldn't work out. So they went inside.
We looked at removing those two rooms and levelling the floors. They think it's do-able for quite a reasonable price (They are a ministry who doesn't ask payment but accepts gifts) They are thinking of coming back in May, early, mid or late May. (Depending on the birth of a grandchild)
I believe this is the kind of decision that needs the members behind it. But unfortunately it's an opportunity that has popped up that hasn't given us a lot of time to prepare.
So I think we need an extra members meeting fairly soon. It would be very good to kick all the ideas around before then.
This is something we talked about in May 2008, but did not proceed with because of money, basically. As I (Michael) reflect, I can't help wondering if God has fixed that problem for us.
This is what we recorded from the May meeting
Discussion took place regarding possible alterations to the front interior of
the church, so as to make more room for the musicians and congregation. No
decisions taken. To be further looked into and report prepared for the next
meeting.
I have suggested Sunday 19 April to have a members meeting after the Sunday service. This will depend on getting the information discussed enough between now and then.
We want to hear all the objections and problems that might arise.
The next post will outline the proposal.
The following post will give us a place to kick the questions around.
