Weekly Prayer Bricks: 21st July 2011: Schools out for Summer but BUILD continues

As schools break up, please continue to pray, surrounding the project with prayer bricks is the strongest foundation we can lay down.
  • Ask God to protect all the work men on site from injury and to prevent any theft from the site
  • Thank God for the collective expertise of our professional team and for the skill of the mechanical and electrical sub-contractors in particular.
  • Continue to ask for good working relationships, but also that we (Jane, Robin, Alan, David & Peter) would interact positively on a daily basis.
  • Continue to pray for good progress on site, particularly in the Worship Area during August.
  • Finally, the new building will give us new opportunities to make a difference in our community. Ask God to give us open hearts and open minds as he leads us on…

Breaking News: Brick colour chosen at LRBC

BRICK WORK: Clifford (Architect), Graham (Site Manager) and Jane (Brick Enthusiast) get the right match.
In a break from news about phone tapping and journalists, we have this news just in. The brick type and colour has been selected for the new external brickwork and their delivery is pending. It doesn't get much more exciting that this.

Progress update: Week ending Friday 15th July 2011

Since the last time I reported there has been lots of activity on site. The observant among you will have noticed the installation of steelwork to the Leigh Road elevation to create the opening for the new pairs of double doors which will give easy access into the garden.

The foundations for the new Welcome area are now complete and good progress has been made to the mechanical installations in the boiler room, Pall Mall Corridor and offices. Electricians are now at work in these same areas installing the fire alarm and smoke detection systems.


In addition to the electricians and heating engineers, there are now bricklayers and carpenters on site working on the Leigh Road elevation.

Should you need more detailed information on any of the above please do not hesitate to contact me. Jane.

Weekly Prayer Bricks: 6th July 2011 - The divine is in the detail

This week everything is in the detail. Please pray for accuracy as the contractor 'sets' out the welcome area in the next couple of days. The main steels for the welcome area are likely to be erected next week, again pray for safety for the sub-contractors involved.
Next week a group are meeting to discuss colour schemes and signage with Clifford our architect.

Please do pray for continued good progress with the installation of the heating in the offices and corridors, engineers from LASER, our electrical sub-contractor will follow through after the mechanical engineers to fit the smoke and emergency lighting systems......it's all systems go!
When the building is finished, we can get on with the church's core business - please pray for leadership to lead listen to and follow God's voice on this.

Please continue to pray, asking God to protect all the work men on site from injury and to prevent any theft from the site, thanking God for the collective expertise of our professional team and for the skill of the mechanical sub-contractors installing the new heating and hot water systems. Continue to ask for good working relationships, but also that we (Jane, Robin, Alan, David & Peter) would interact positively on a daily basis.

Finally, the new building will give us new opportunities to make a difference in our community. Ask God to give us open hearts and open minds as he leads us on…

Progress update: Week ending Friday 1st July 2011

The Main Contractor, T.J. Evers, has been on site now for nine weeks and after a slow start there is now definite evidence of activity!  Not only has the Parlour been demolished and the existing floor slab removed, the side walls of the Main Hall have been taken down (the side roofs are now supported by props) and work is commencing to lay the new foundations.
Openings have been made to the existing walls to the Pre-school to create areas for the integral children’s toilets, a new kitchen and access to the area between Pre-school and the Worship area which will become a small play area.


Works have progressed generally in accordance with the programme since the last site meeting.
Many people have said that they did not realise the extent of the works; if you would like to see the plans again please do not hesitate to contact Jane Brookes.
