2000 - 2009: Jubilee Open Day - 2002 June
A new West Porch for St. James's Church. Words my husband Jon and I have heard many times over the past few months, but have never once really stopped to consider the impact for our family, congregation or the wider community of our Parish. No doubt like many others we had read the St. James's Mission Action Plan, however in our so called "busy" lives had never really given much thought or consideration to the content of the plan. So when Brian asked if we could become involved in the redevelopment plan for the West Porch we had a very steep learning curve to go through, not least having to admit, with huge embarrassment that we were not even sure where the West Porch was! Opening Our Doors - The benefits The project now has a name "Opening Our Doors" which we believe is synonymous with the aims of the project and will in particular help us to achieve one of our key Mission objectives, that of supporting the growth of newcomers, those on the periphery and regular attendees. On a more practical note there will be more office and administrative space for parish business and a small workroom for individuals - and a very welcome new toilet with disabled access and baby changing unit. Opening Our Doors - Keeping you up to date with progress Your help and support will be fundamental to the success of the project. To help keep you up to date we hope to create a small exhibition at the back of the Church to give you a thorough overview ofthe project, as well as progress updates and details of the events we will be holding to help raise funds for the project. Our aim is to have the project completed by st. James's Day in July 2003 - a fabulous way to celebrate, but a very challenging road ahead. Opening Our Doors - How can you become involved? A small team has been formed to help kick-start the project and currently we are putting together various development plans and have identified a number of fundraising activities, which we hope you will all be able to join in with and support. Our first event and official launch will be a B.B.Q. on the evening of St. James's Day, 7th July 2002. By time this is printed we will have already been selling tickets for a couple of weeks - so make sure you get yours soon!
