Common sense isn't so common anymore...but why?
When Jesus returns, which church will he enter?
Demonstrate Christianity, dont just talk it.
And.....
Have a laugh with us....
A Christian and a non-believer were walking down the road when the devil appeared in front of them.
The non-believer hid behind the Christian and said
"Protect me. He's after me!"
But the Christian smiled and said
"No, it's me he's after. He's already got you!"
Let's make Christianity simple
Current situation with the building remedial work
as of Wednesday 16th October 2024
Most of our local community now know that we have had to close temporarily as our flat roof was found to be constructed with RAAC (reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete) panels which are considered unsafe. We have had surveys done by structural engineers and have the constructional specifications required to make the building safe. We now have quotations for the remedial work and they are being submitted to the appropriate committees for approval. We will keep you up to date as to progress.
1st Step. Church Council Meeting at Emmanuel Church
Tuesday 15th October 2024 at 7 pm
2nd Step. The Church Council has unanimously agreed for the quote to be accepted and remedial work to be started. The builders will soon give us a start date to undertake the repair the building. Our sincere thanks go to the Salford Methodist Circuit for assisting toward the remedial work.
Also, thank you to all in the community who are helping financially and thank you to all whose prayers are now being answered.
We're on our way to reopening!
Watch this space (as they say!)
By the way...it's RAACs which is the problem
and NOT RATs !
Please pray for the church and community centre and thank you to all those who have left and emailed messages of support. It's obvious the community is missing its home and we will be reopening soon.
Thank you for your prayers.
Whatever happens, God's Will will prevail.
and.....
As the building is temporarily closed, please do not leave donations of clothing and food in the porch. Would you take them to the local charity shop or to Emmanuel Church.
The food bank at Emmanuel is always grateful for food and
for empty egg boxes too. Thanks.
"What is RAAC ?" ....the question has been asked many times.
Perhaps this photo of the RAAC ceiling panels surrounding the rooflights in one of the corridors in church will explain. In our case, they are structural roof panels made from reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete which are used as the flat roof section in church. (Hope that helps!)
