Where will the goats live?
Yesterday, Sunday 11th June, we launched our Connected Building Project across all of our services at Holy Trinity.
We watched a video, containing an architects ‘virtual tour’ of the proposed building - enhanced by some superbly creative editing from Aneal Appadoo - and a script from me to describe the main features and potential of the building. The video helped us to think about how a Connected building will enable and enhance mission and ministry on this site for years to come.

We followed up the video by thinking about how God has given us two tools with which to build: Prayer and Finances, both of which we will need to put to use in faith.
At the end of each of our services yesterday there was opportunity to chat about the presentation over coffee and doughnuts, and members of HT were invited to use post it notes to respond to what they'd heard. Children had the opportunity to write or draw on on a graffiti wall.
My own hope and prayer is that we will reach the end of this project not just rejoicing in a new building, but in the God we have encountered along the way. Churches like Holy Trinity have seen God answer prayer in remarkable ways as they have set out on a project like this, providing in ways that they could never have anticipated. We are at the beginning of an exciting and challenging journey...
There was one question that I hadn't anticipated:
I'm pleased to report that the plans for the building don't include any alterations to the goat shed - Rose and Doc will watch the new building take shape from the end of the church garden. I'm also delighted at this depth of detailed attention to the project from one of our youngest members.
