| Centenary Block Over
the years the needs of our Church in terms of space for the various
activities and ministries of our church has been increasing. Recently,
with the start of the Tamil Bible School, the Supervised Study
Centre on weekdays for the poor children from nearby areas, the
proposed expansion of “Parivalaya”, the day care centre for mentally
challenged children, the needs of the Choir, the Sunday School,
the revamping of the Church Office including creation of Archives
etc, the need for additional infrastructural requirements has become
acute. A well equipped small conference hall for the conduct of
Bible studies, audio visual support to the instruction in the Sunday
School, conduct of Seminars, Workshops etc has become a necessity,
if the Church is to move forward to meet the challenges that lie
ahead.
It is against this back drop that the construction of a muti purpose
Centenary Block was prayerfully conceived and the vision moved
forward with the unanimous consent of the members of the congregation
at a General Meeting held for that purpose. The building is to
consist of ground and first floor with a total built up area of
about 6000 sq.ft. The ground floor would consist of a muti purpose
hall cum auditorium while the first floor would house Parivalaya
and a small conference hall to be equipped with modern teaching
aids. The initial estimated cost of the project was around Rs 41,00,000/-
(Rupees forty one lakhs). The construction of this facility would
go a long way in addressing the needs of the Church and overcome
the constraints which hamper our ministry as we plan for the ministry
of our church which has just crossed the thresh hold and entered
the new century.
