1 North Side Wesleyan Holiness Church Building Project Newsletter at the North Side Wesleyan (Pilgrim) Holiness Church Dear Friends and Family of the North Side Wesleyan Holiness Church: We greet you in the precious name of Jesus and trust that this newsletter will find you and your family in good health enjoying the blessings of our Father in Heaven. We also would like to take this opportunity to wish for you all a prosperous and blessed New Year and may you experience the fullness of God in even greater measure than before. The purpose of this newsletter is to make you aware of a special project that our Church is about to embark upon, namely, the construction of our new church building. Reasons for this decision: i) The present facility was constructed around 1941. While it is still functioning on the surface, we are aware of structural concerns and the fact that it is only a matter of time when the building will cost more to maintain than it would be to construct a new facility. ii) The Sunday school classrooms, built in the early 80s require extensive work if they are to remain functioning properly. iii) The church has a small septic for the toilets in the classrooms which does not take much to overflow, since there is no drain system or deep well connected to it. iv) The rat bats have taken over the ceiling of the church and the classrooms, and in spite of many attempts to get rid of them they still keep coming back creating a very unpleasant odor in the building most of the time. v) With the continued growth and development of our children and youth ministry, it is essential that we expand our facilities in order to effectively grow these ministries. a.The youth ministry has added to its portfolio a drama; creative worship and puppet ministry and would like to expand that “...we are aware of structural concerns and the fact that it is only a matter of time when the building will cost more to maintain...”
2 Spiritual growth & development... to video productions and other forms of ministry utilizing their technological skills within the Sunday service and in their separate areas of ministry. b. Kidz Klubhouse is in need of its own space in order for them to grow alongside the youth ministry. c. Children’s Church requires much more space and proper facilities to operate effectively on Sundays. d. Vacation Bible School always require additional space that we do not presently have. vi) The Sunday School is in dire need of better classroom facilities in order to promote and enhance the teaching and learning of the scriptures. vii) The church on a whole desires to better serve its members and the community at large. Presently, most of our major functions have to be carried out at the North Side Craddock Ebanks Civic Centre. These functions would include funerals, weddings, conventions, concerts and other large gatherings. We would like to be able to have our own facility to support these occasions. We could go on and on with the reasons why it is essential for us to begin this work now, but I believe in light of the above, you understand. We owe it to the present and future generations to construct a facility that will enable them to reach more people and do more for Christ than we have been able to do. The new Sanctuary and Sunday School classrooms will cover a total area of 8,350 square feet and is estimated to cost 1 million Cayman Islands dollars, or 1.2 million United States dollars to construct. We, therefore, ask that you first of all pray for us as we commence this project. Secondly, we ask that you pass this information on to as many people as you may know whom you think would be interested in assisting us in some way. Thirdly, we ask that, if at all possible, you too offer us your support
