Wow - what an afternoon!
Our new church is officially launched. The Carnegie Room looked festive with balloons, banners and nice table cloths on the tables. Food and drink were in abundance as around 100 people gathered to support the occasion. Excellent words and prayers from Grantley Watkins (on behalf of Newfrontiers) and Tim Lovejoy (on behalf of the local Thetford churches) and then Maurice Nightingale (a regional leader of Newfrontiers and old friend of mine) deputised for the indisposed Mayor and cut the red ribbon! A special cake was presented and I (and Dan Morgan) were presented with commemorating trophies while our wives received flowers. Oh - and we worshipped God helped by Mikey and the band down from Wymondham and I gave a short word explaining what this was all about!
A great afternoon - let's have many more as our numbers grow and we start to look and act the part.
