 A Church Community on the move.... A welcome change is about to take place in one of Kidderminster's town churches, a change which we trust will bring new impetus and focus in its mission. What makes this project so special is that it is ecumenically based, providing a place of spiritual refreshment and challenge in our community. It comes at a time when the town centre is undergoing a major regeneration, and is testimony to the fact that the Church of God is involved in the business of change, and is always ready to respond to new challenges. And what a challenge we have on our hands! Since our last public meeting at Baxter in January 2001, a great deal has happened. A small committee have been meeting on a regular basis to examine the process which needs to be undertaken for a project of this size. We have been in contact with a number of individuals have have shown great enthusiasm in sharing their expertise with us, and helping to draw our attention to the issues that need to be dealt with in preparation. One of the key areas for our committee to be concerned about has been the issue of fund-raising. We have had a number of choirs approach us about concerts for the Baxter Project, and the first to perform at a concert in Baxter in December were the Valentines and the New Dimensional Experience choirs. Our special thanks to all who made the evening a very special occasion. We raised just over £1500, bring the total funds raised to just over £2000. A Charitable Company account has been applied for, and the Committee are now in the process of forging links with various groups in the town who may well be interested in supporting our project. |
