Thanksgiving Service for New Building
On Sunday morning 12th June 2011 we held a thanksgiving service for our new building.
God graciously helped us to get sufficiently complete to have a great time together welcoming many visitors – more than 200 people including friends from other churches and people from the local community.
Mark Ventham and Graham Nicholls
The service was led by Mark Ventham and later in the service Graham Nicholls preached from 1 Peter 2 about who we are as a church (people building their lives on Jesus Christ) and what we do (worship and witness). This is our aim for Christ Church inside and outside our new building.
