Raise the Roof

Our church needs a new roof at a cost of approx. £50,000. With a church membership of 25 and average Sunday congregation of 15 it is laughable to think that we could raise enough money between ourselves.

But we believe in a loving God and He wants us to continue worshipping him here in Beer as we have done for hundreds of years. So we have told the builders to go ahead with the roof and we are praying that God will supply for our need.

Great is thy faithfulness, O God my father,
Morning by morning new mercies I see;
All I have needed thy hand hath provided
Great is thy faithfulness, Lord unto me.

BEER CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH

May all your prayers be answered.
The strength of your faith
See your plans through.
The £50,000, you are working
So hard to get, with God's guidance!
As Beer Congregational Church
needs a new roof.

We pray that the people of Beer are responsive.
We pray the holiday makers are too.
To buy a £5 slate is a bargain
To help pay for the church's new roof.
The Church brings many Blessings
As the parishioners, and visitors pray,
That your efforts will be rewarded
And thank God, that he will
Show you the way.
