Day one in the new Baguley Offices

Well. We did it. First service in The Avenue Methodist Church and offices now fully moved to Baguley. 

Starting with Sunday then, everything went pretty smoothy. The only downside was the fact the windows wouldn't open meaning it was a bit of a greenhouse! Fortunately (on that front) we don't have too many sunny days in Manchester so i doubt that'll be a regular occurrence. A highlight in the meeting was the welcome we received from Rev Richard Mottishead, a real sign of unity amongst the churches in Sale. And to extend that feeling, Andy revealed that we are exploring as a church a way to accommodate Kingsway church in Sale, who are also looking for a building, into the new multipurpose LifeCentre. The meeting they had on Sunday night sparked a very positive view of this possibility and talks are continuing. Pray for wisdom amongst our Elders and Directors and for the leaders of Kingsway church but this is a great sign of churches helping each other out. 

So, our offices have moved to Baguley. The first person to unpack all their boxes and have their desk straight? Tom Giles. To be fair he only brought with him a photo and some healing oil :) 

But the offices look really nice inside, there's lots of space and we've settled in quickly. Paul is still bringing over the remaining items from Kings Centre today but it now looks a desolate shell and is almost ready for the demolition. We'll keep you posted when the demolition begins and get some photos up online. 

On a last note you'll have hopefully seen by now one or both of our new LifeChurch Manchester videos! One of these is now posted on our website to invite people to our services at The Avenue and the second one will be used to begin our Sunday afternoon / evening services. Feel free to repost them to help invite as many people to church as possible. 

Have a good week, we'll see you all on Sunday.
