Bishop welcomes church’s warmth


THE Bishop of Tonbridge, the Rt Rev Dr Brian Castle, attended the newly decorated Christ Church, Snodland, at a service of dedication for the new heating system and chairs, which have replaced the old pews. “As you enter this building it wants to say ‘welcome, it is good to


have you with us’,” he said. He praised a great team effort in raising £57,000 at a time when fi- nances are tight. “It makes Christ Church physically more welcoming with the heat-


ing, decoration, kitchen area, boiler and chairs,” he added. “I thank God for what you have done. Congratulations and well done.” The church used to have a hot air blower for heating, which was considered inadequate. It is hoped that now the building is more comfortable and warm, with better access for wheelchairs and pushchairs, it will be used by more community organisations.
