The building project at Wymondham Baptist Church is moving forward. We are pleased to announce that we have received a grant from the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, via the Pride in Place Community Grant Fund run by South Norfolk Council. This has enabled us to move on to the next stage of the project to develop the planning permission that has been granted into a fully designed and costed project.
This feasibility work should be complete by the autumn, when we anticipate that we will be able to go out to tender. Obviously, we need to secure the funding before we can start to build and our External Fund-Raising team is hard at work with many grant applications. We are excited about what the future holds for us as God leads us forward. Our vision is to be ‘an authentic church with a place for everyone’ as we look to extend our building and bring it into the 21st century - we want to reach more people and support our community in many more ways. If you are able to help us raise the funds we need, please get in touch – office@wymondhambaptist.org - 01953606520 or visit https://donate.mydona.com/wymondham-baptist-church or our Just Giving page - justgiving.com/campaign/building-project-wbc to make a donation.

Earlier in April we were pleased to be able to take part in the Wymondham Arts Festival as we celebrated our Silver ECO award and later in April when we held our Craft and Crumpets event, showcasing so many crafts and skills of the WBC fellowship – this event raised over £600 for our Building Project.
We have continued our work in our rear church garden and are pleased to be able to invite members of the community to come in and enjoy the garden as we continue to develop the area. We have bird boxes and a bird feeder installed as well as a designated wild flower area. Come in and have a look and take a rest and watch the wonder of God’s world.
We look forward to the end of May when we will be having a film show afternoon on Thursday 30th May at 2pm in the church hall. We will be showing the latest version of Pilgrim's Progress – ice creams will be served during the interval and tea and coffee at the end when we will have time to talk about the film.
As part of the Great Big Green Week we will be having our Uniform Bank open on 12th and 14th June as well as 10th and 12th July and 12th and 14th August. If you need school uniform come and see if we can help.
The highlight of June for us is a visit from the Happy Day Gospel Choir on Saturday 15th June. The concert will start at 7pm and tickets are available from WBC church office – office@wymondhambaptist.org – 01953 606520. Get your ticket before they are all sold - don’t miss out.
There is always a welcome at Wymondham Baptist Church services each Sunday at 10.30a.m. and at Roots Community Café each Wednesday and Friday from 10am. – 1pm – come and meet us.
