St Mary & All Saints Church Beaconsfield
Raise the Roof Campaign
The Rector writes
St. Mary and All Saints Church has been a meeting place for Christians in the parish for over 800 years. Generations before us have maintained and adapted the church to reflect the mission of the Christian community, while meeting the needs of others who use and have an interest in the building.
In 1869 our Victorian forbears refurbished the church adding the side aisles and the lead roof. However, this roof is now leaking in places and urgently needs to be renewed. There are also other repairs and renewals that we need to address.An estimated breakdown of the main areas of cost are
i. Roof and Timber repairs £280,000
ii Tower repairs and enclosing the north porch with new exterior doors £65,000
iii. Renewing the heating system. £50,000
iv Internal repairs, plasterwork and redecoration £60,000
v. Architects and other fees £ 45,000
Total Needed £500,000
To achieve these goals, I am asking for your support and financial help. The 'Raise the roof 500 Appeal was launched in October 2006 and will continue for a year until October 2007.
I invite you to consider prayerfully and carefully the ways in which God has blessed you and how through your giving you can contribute to meet the challenge of maintaining our church for the community now and in years to come.
Please respond generously.
May God bless you and make you a blessing to others. "

Prayer for Thought.
God our Father, make us to think of what we can give to life and less of what we can get out of it.
May we be mindful that all that we have, we hold in trust.
Bless, 0 God, the projects that are before us. Grant us the vision to see, the faith to believe and the courage to act, for the glory and extension of your Kingdom.
Amen
