This update brings you up to date with the development of the prayer centre at Ealing West London.
The building at Ealing has been undergoing a major change over the last six months. It is almost finished now. It looks brilliant and now has a hospitality area, Four prayer rooms, improved kitchen and toilet facilities, a newly created mezzanine admin space and some fantastic new multi media facilities. The builders will be handing the building over to us next Wednesday. The furniture arrives a week on Friday.
There have been some amazing strides taken in terms of relationship establishments. Some very exciting developments have surfaced in terms of working with others to help incredibly needy people. The volunteer team has expanded already especially in our shop where we have amazing new volunteers many of whom have not been involved in any church anywhere.
The prayer rhythm has been developing in Costa lately but will commence daily at 10am and 12 noon every day shortly.
Prayer appointments have started to increase. And the signposting has begun as people have began to head for the sanctuary to find help.
The shop is doing fantastic being developed by our new West London Hub coordinator Nicky Joyce who is doing a fantastic job. Nicky will work closely with myself and Dawn at Ealing and on top of overseeing the charity shop will be responsible for developing admin and prayer room bookings systems (and other stuff!!)
The West London Development will welcome Sylvia Overton into the team this month as she takes responsibility for the development of Hayes. Sylvia will be commissioned as a Salvation Army in the next few weeks and we look forward to welcoming her into the team.
There are many volunteering roles in the West London Development project and anyone is welcome to join us.
We are hoping to open the prayer centre to commence our work on August 5th. Then watch out for an official opening sometime in September.
Its an exciting time just now. Keep praying for us as we launch this exciting project especially pray that our volunteer team for both the shop and the prayer centre increases even more.
Thank you for your support.
