St Andrew's Church, Fundraising Initiative
Extension Fundraising 2011
Building for the Future
Dear Friends,
St Andrew's is a beautiful and well-proportioned church that stands in the middle of a growing and developing community. It is lovingly cared for, well supported and is open every day for private prayer and public worship as well as to welcome any visitors.
However, ours is essentially a "village" church; we do not have the facilities to meet the needs of a growing congregation and to serve an ever-increasing town population. Therefore the Parochial Church Council has committed itself to an ambitious plan to meet the needs of the 21st Century. Here is the detail of our vision for the future development of the Church. The total cost is likely to be around £480,000, and while we are in the very good position of already having £370,000 we need to be able to raise about £100,000. I have no doubts that with your help this is achievable. I would like to invite you to share our vision. It is an ideal opportunity to give to a good cause in memory of a loved one, or in thanksgiving for a life that has been blessed by God. In recognition of your generosity those who give will have their names recorded in a Book of Gifts. The very stones tell the story of the Parish Church and countless generations have written different chapters. By giving what you can please help us to write another chapter in that story as we seek to love and serve both God and our neighbour.
Every blessing,
Fr. Howard Stoker
Rector of Holt with High Kelling
