St Michael’s Church Project: NACRE
NACRE is the acronym chosen by St Michael’s to identify its project for the Narthex And Church RE-visioning. A plan for renewal. The work, which has been approved by the church authorities, will transform the area into a more welcoming space, which can be used by the whole community. It will involve new LED lighting throughout. The Narthex (church hall) will be insulated and double-glazed windows upgraded together with new flooring and chairs.
Give To Go Green
These changes obviously come at a cost, some of which can be raised through grants, especially for the energy-saving aspects of the project such as the LED lights, insulation and double-glazed windows. The Church of England’s ‘Give To Go Green’ initiative will match any monies raised, up to a maximum of £10,000, during a set 6-weeks period.
St Michael’s Goes Green
The good news is that St Michael’s has successfully applied to be part of this initiative and our fundraising time will be from 20th September to 31st October.
