Gordon Chapel Fochabers

In order to formally join the Isla Deveron Group of Churches, St Michael’s Dufftown and Gordon Chapel Fochabers into a single charge, a draft updated constitution has been prepared with help from the Diocese.

For this to go forward there need to be congregational meetings, in each of the current charges all of which must accept the proposed changes.

The meeting for Gordon Chapel will take place after the service on Sunday August 25^th 10:00am.

Copies of the proposed new constitution are at the back of church.

We are delighted to have received the maximum grant of £5000 towards the lift project from the Scottish Episcopal Church’s Building Grants Fund.

Work to prepare Gordon Chapel for the lift is continuing and the lift is on order.

We are very grateful to the Gordon & Ena Baxter Foundation who have awarded us a grant of £9000 towards the Lift Project.

Preparatory work has begun at Gordon Chapel in order to get the building ready for the lift to be installed.

To fully complete the project we still need to raise more money for the Lift Fund.

The vestry are also awaiting the outcome of a couple of grant applications.

If all goes according to plan, we hope the lift will be fully installled within the next 12 months.

We  are very grateful to the Garfield Weston Foundation who have awarded us a grant of £5000 towards the Lift Project.
