9.08am Saturday morning the 12th May, 35 people gathered to share the results of many hours of work. There were technical people, practical people, hardworking people, artistic people, visionary people and some people who were probably just wondering what they were doing out of bed on Saturday morning.

Our building project task groups were gathered to share their insights into the fit-out and use of the new building. As we heard reports from each group it became quickly apparent that much prayer and hard thinking had occurred. As we shared visions of how each space would come alive with ministry, it was exciting to see all the possibilities.

It was church body life in action. The ideas and issues raised demonstrated the great value of involving a wide group of talented people.

As our understanding grew, so did our ability to solve problems and improve the plan. Many issues have been solved with win/win outcomes, some others still need a creative spark.

Very soon a final (well almost) plan will be produced to coincide with our Development Approval from Council. Pray that our DA will move through Council very soon!
