In June, at the assembly the EBA launched Project 2016 – Gorleston Baptist Church in Norfolk presented their project;
Our
project is to completely refurbish the rear to include a new toilet
area with shower, new entrance new kitchen, new
roof, new bright airy hall which will have a mezzanine floor with extra
rooms. It will also provide a better atmosphere for the existing Drop-
In folk, and to be able to make it available to the community for
occasional use".
Six months later they have sent an update as to how things are going;
“The project has been held up for a few months, but since October the Redevelopment Team have been working flat out to
try and catch up time.
We have seen the architect and have approved the final set of plans for the building works. It went before Great Yarmouth
Borough Council Planning Committee in December, and in early January we were informed that the plans had been passed.
Another meeting has been held and we have agreed for a site survey of topological survey of the grounds, and then we should
be ready to go to builders quotes."
The
church is very thankful for the financial gifts they have received so
far from EBA churches and thank those who have been praying for them. Please
keep praying that the next six months sees work started on the work in
practical terms and for those within our community that will benefit
from the finished work.
