A tale of two buildings
ST PAUL’S HOUSETHE STORY SO FAR
1. Who owns the building?• Layout• History• Current lease2. Present Agreement. Length of lease. Financial implications. Car park3. What have we gained so far?. Shop front. Accessibility. Manageable space. Better rental space
4. What are the weak points of the venue?– Kitchen and loo provision– Storage
5. Is there a plan?!. at present we are exploring how we would go about buying the building. we may well be able to lease it. we must face the possibility of losing it.
What is God saying?
I THINK
1. We should keep hold of this place for as long as possible (regardless of what happens over the road)
2. We need a clear vision:What is this place: outreach Centre/ worship centre/ community centre? Or all three?
3. Be courageous. Be whole-hearted
