This has been a week full of milestones!

The 2 year anniversary of the Picton Community Pantry – serving our community by providing a place for low-cost groceries and connection. The conclusion of our first ‘Taste and See’ course and many guests making steps towards faith in Jesus. Application to several Federal, State and Local Council grants to support our ministries. And an application to the Urban Renewal Pilot Program. If we are successful in our application, then we will gain support in developing our Wilton Church property to better serve the rapidly growing community around us with the good news of Jesus Christ!

This year we’ve really felt the need for space. Our Wilton morning service Kids Program’s have struggled with many children in smaller than ideal spaces, and both our Wilton congregations have often used every chair in the building on a regular Sunday. We recognise that this is just the beginning of what God has in store for our little Church in a large and growing suburb, and so we need to make plans.

Parish Council are taking a first step by asking for financial contributions to buy 50 more chairs. We are exploring possibilities to increase or make more flexible the Kids ministry spaces, and we are beginning to explore the longer term project of a whole new Wilton Church building for the future.

Yours in Christ,

Ben
