Improving Wolverley Church Hall

Two members of the congregation at Wolverley Church have redecorated the outside of the Church Hall as a service to the local community. Sam Neale and his friend Maff spent around three months improving the building which had fallen into considerable disrepair.

Sam has been a member of Wolverley Church for around three years. He said: “I really felt that God had put into my heart that I needed to improve the hall.”

The men received some donations of paint, including from the local B&Q and the Seabright Foundation donated £500 towards the project. A local sign company also made a new sign for a donation and Sam created a cross to go onto the outside.

“It was a real community effort,” said Sam. “We were very grateful to people who brought up cups of tea and coffee while we were working and my son, Archie even got involved with some of the painting!”

Vicar Shaun Armstrong said: “We are hugely grateful for Sam and Maff’s work – it is a huge improvement, and the hall looks cared for again. The hall has much history attached to it and remains a central hub for our church community events. Bookings have gone up significantly since the work was completed, and we’ve had lots more enquiries.”

Pray for the community of Wolverley Church and for all who use
their church hall.
