Eighteen months ago I wrote on the notices that I’d stop being a Doubting Thomas and felt that we would get through the time and eventually get into our new church.

Well, after three long years of fear, hope, worry, optimism and so on, the day has come. We have arrived!!

We are today in our new Church, and what a lovely building it is.

We have enjoyed our separate Churches, and in a way it holds sadness that we have had to leave, but let us now look to the future and enjoy being all together in new premises. God has been with us all the way, so let us now give thanks and go forward to make it the church spoken of last week by our Minister: "The church we will all want to live in."

Let us go hand in hand, with love in our hearts, and god at the helm. - Beryl Bullock
