Progress report – 10th November 2022
Screed laying has started. It should be finished by the time you read this. On Tuesday when the picture below was taken, they were about one quarter the way through.
It has been quite a major exercise and engrossing for anyone who enjoys watching construction activity. Two mixer machines have been working outside The Cornerstone continuously.
You may have seen the bags of lime piled up. Sand has been delivered in massive truck loads several times a day, shovelled into the mixer, combined with water and the resulting mixture pumped along two pipes past The Cornerstone and into the church.
We have a stall at the Winter Carnival on Sunday 27th November. Please come and visit us, or even better, offer to help (email Hannah@allsaintswokingham.org.uk).
Thank you to all of you who are continuing to give to the appeal. During September and October we raised £12,173. To reach our £120,000 target before the work is finished, we need more than £10,000 a month. There is a smart bric-a-brac stall after the 9.30 service this Sunday. Please come and buy, or bring to sell.
Please continue to pray about what you might give yourself and that all may give generously. The web site has all the details. Think how you can be creative and get sponsored or donate to buy a chair in memory of someone or donate to our organ or main appeals.
Although the building itself is closed, worship continues in The Cornerstone on Sundays (8, 9.30 and 11.15am) and on weekdays (Tuesday and Wednesday at 10 am and Thursday at 9 am) and the bell ringers will have access to the tower again. There is still access to almost all the churchyard either through the lychgate in London Road or the double gate in Norreys Avenue. The memorials by The Cornerstone and by the vestry door can be accessed by arrangement with the Parish office.
