Anyone who owns a house knows the adage that there’s always something to be done to keep the house in good repair.  Similarly, owning a church building is a great privilege, since the building facilitates the activities the people want to run, but it also brings with it responsibilities to keep the building in good repair. We had to replace the boilers heating the community rooms and have been waiting until summer to be able to remove the old boiler. That happened yesterday.

The boiler as it looked at the start:

The next step now is to redecorate the children’s room in which the old boiler was housed and develop this room further. Then, of course, there are the community room radiators to replace and that room to redecorate. There’s always something to be done!
