The Lord nudged us earlier this year about the spaces and places we meet. Many of us have met and prayed about this, the last few months. The Lord then directed us to explore the possible use of the Secombe Theatre in Sutton.
We were refused access to the site until some of us met and prayed. A few days later, we were given permission by our local authority to view the inside of the Theatre.
Some staff were able to explore the site and pray within it. It has great possibilities for us as a church. A vision we have always had, seeming to come to life as we look at it. A place where thousands of people in our community meet within it for community life and that would also be a permanent venue for our Sunday, services, youth and children's ministry.
The Lord made clear the way for us to explore this opportunity.
First, we pray, and then we take the practical next steps that arise. We know our next planning step is a feasibility study and assessment of the site, and Jon Dowdeswell, our operations manager, is initiating and overseeing that for us
So now it is time to pray again.
You are invited to join us to pray on Sunday 3rd October - online at 6pm for 30 minutes or in-person at 6.45pm at the Secombe Theatre. Please sign up by clicking on the following link https://suttonvineyard.churchsuite.co.uk/events/7ro0ycae
