New Church formed

I have been working in a (mostly) unused old church building in a small village called 'Pennymoor', near Tiverton.  Three neighbouring churches were keeping the building going by having a joint service there once a month, but it had no membership of it's own at all.

With the help and oversight of the South West Area Mission worker we started outreach activities on Saturday mornings, with art & craft, Fairtrade sales, Film shows and always Coffee/tea.  Each time the odd person or two would pop in and contacts with locals were made.

After almost 2 years when many times I wanted to give up, but God just kept saying 'Don't quit', we now have a small team of people who have become members and a Church has been started.

We all agreed to make the building more accessible so the old pews were sold and comfortable banqueting style chairs and small but sturdy tables have been purchased.  The building has been transformed.

We are open and waiting to see what God will do next!
