Come to the Church Council Meeting – the way forward!

The Redevelopment Group met recently.

The cost of essential work and our limited redevelopment proposals is around £400k, and would not deal with the heating, the roof, the kitchen, the drains or improve the energy efficiency.

We are making a substantial loss on the building each year.

The Group does not feel that redevelopment is now the way forward, and suggests we need to consider seriously how long we remain in Marketgait and what the alternatives might be in the light of our mission.

The Church Council on Tuesday will be asked to consider options for the congregation.  All members of the congregation are invited to attend and participate in the discussion.”
