The Funds are Growing

We are so grateful to everyone who has been working hard to raise funds for our building project. The good news is that they are slowly yet surely enlarging and we would like to make a special mention to 'The Roper Family Trust' for their very kind donation.

If you would like to get involed then there are a number of events you can put in your new diary for 2012:
14th January - Quiz Night

With many more events in the pipeline waiting to be confirmed I think next year is going to be full of all sorts of fabulous fundraising fun! If you have your own ideas for an event or an activity then please do come and talk to; Sarah, Lyndsey or David, they are here to help you turn your ideas into reality.

The Total so far is...

We are back with great news, the fundraising has got off to a brilliant start. This image shows the fundraising chart before we began, if you pop in to church now you will see it start to fill up with colour. So from our initial appeal we have raised a grand total of ..... £71,624. Thank you so much to everyone who has already donated or pledged money, this is a fantastic start to our fundraising efforts. If you have any ideas for events or activities that you would be prepared to run or help with then do come to St Saviour's Church this Saturday morning (2nd July) 10am-Noon where over a cup of coffee you can share your thoughts and ideas with the fundraising team. Remember no idea is too small or too large.

And we're off!

On Sunday we had the opportunity to hear direct from the architect how our church would benefit from the proposed building work and what we could expect. It was a very informative and inspiring opportunity to find out more. The project has also made the Bath Chronicle and you can read about it here. Brochures have been produced to inform everyone in the congregation, community and beyond what is planned, you can pick yours up at St Saviour's and if you want to find out more about how you can contribute or what you can do please email us.

Opening up the Church for a new generation

St Saviour's is a church firmly rooted in Community life. For generations it has met and served the needs of those in the parish and surrounding area. To maintain it's active and integral part in meeting these needs internally the church needs to be updated to provide more adaptable and functional space for community and church groups using the space.

There is very much a sense that the time is right for us to push forward. This blog is intended to chronicle our progress and also be a point of information regarding progress, events and activities. If you want to find out more about the project please come to the launch on Sunday at 12pm at St Saviour's Church.
