The day after
We had our church AGM yesterday afternoon. François gave a short presentation on how the project has been going. He had some PowerPoint slides of the progress on the building. The photos were mostly from this blog but we found a few others to put in. It was interesting to see the photos in a pseudo time-lapse format - things change fast.
I then talked about the finances. So far we have spent just over 100,000 euros on the project. If all of the works come in on budget and according to the quotes we were given we'll have spent a total of 190,000 euros. At that point we'll have a shell into which we'll need to add all the things required to make a usable church - internal walls, electricity, gas, water, flooring, kitchen, furniture... and the list goes on.
I worked out that, presuming everything comes in on budget, we'll have 32 euros left in the bank at the end of phase one. Not bad!
We're going to be starting to think about how to raise the money for the next phase of the project. As a church we'll be digging into our own pockets but will also be looking for help from anyone who might be interested.
If you would like to help us financially we have a Donate page that has details of how you can give to the building project.
