A MESSAGE FROM THE VICAR OF BIGGLESWADE
At the time of the launch, Revd. William Thackray, the Vicar of Biggleswade wrote:

Revd. William Thackray I am thrilled at the prospect of adding an extension to the Chapter House as well as carrying out various improvements and refurbishments to the existing facilities. Our intention in embarking on this very ambitious and challenging project is broader than extending a church hall. We are always wanting to be seen as a “community church” and we regard an enhanced and enlarged Chapter House as a clear sign of our commitment to this growing town of Biggleswade and the needs of its community – young and not so young, church members and otherwise. We are doing this for everyone and not just for ourselves. We are asking for your backing, your generous and active support and your prayers. William Thackray |
