This is a representation (for the web) of the Lisvane Prayer sheet

As a church we are committed to numerical as well as spiritual growth.

There is no more available space for the expanding Junior Church that meets both in the existing hall and in Church House.

There is a good chance that the population of the parish could almost double in the next 5-10 years.

The present building is really, in effect, two buildings with its own entrance and exit—Half the congregation can not physically see the other half

Studies show that churches do not expand to more than 80% of their seating capacity

Not including choir the present capacity of the church is about 120 (80% = 96)

Average attendance at 9.30am is about 50 (not including choir) - Average attendance at 11.00am is about 90 [45 adults and 45 children]

What is God’s will here?

Try to put aside your desires – either for or against the building project

Can we still concentrate on being Church if we commit to a building project?

Are we committed to being Church or to occupying buildings

– whether new or old?

Will changing the buildings improve our mission in this community?

Is it God’s Will?

The proposed building is a radical alteration to the present one

	It will cost in excess of £750,000
	We will lose the intimacy of a smaller building
	There is a difficult with car parking (this problem already exists)

As a church we lack the space to do the things we are already committed to

	Coffee, Choir & Little Angels all compete for the same space.
	Worship Group and Ladies Guild compete for the same space.
	Alpha is run away from church.
	There is no space for a bookshop/stand

As a church we are committed to excellence in worship regardless of worship style

	Imaginative worship is limited because of the shortage of space.
	The choir & organ, and the music group are hard to hear in the ’78 extension
	Those reading or leading worship often feel as if they are addressing a wall

Our whole desire is to do the will of God !

Unless the Lord build the house, its builder labour in vain (Psalm 127.1)
