Heart of the City Project
At St Thomas' Church, Lancaster, we are looking to repair the current church building and replace our existing church centre with a modern, highly efficient and highly flexible number of spaces for use by the church family but also by the local community.

A huge thank you to Jim Cooke who produced this for us.

Stuck for Ideas?
Here are some of the creative ideas discussed at our Fundraising evening. With so many ideas to choose from we have decided to focus on a few key events to begin with, such as a themed cinema afternoon and a vintage tea party... but there is nothing to stop you from getting going straight away and organising your own small (or large) event in the community.
Please do share your ideas with us, and let us know if you are running an event and would like help advertising that. Have you checked out our
Facebook page yet? This is where we will be sharing photos and write-ups of any fundraising events that have already taken place and we will also advertise future events here. You can also message us directly via the Facebook page if you have any questions about fund-raising.
Please continue to pray for this project and give thanks for those who are giving their time and effort to fundraising in the community.
