Check out church renos

By Matthew Leach, assistant minister at Helensburgh Anglican Church

Helensburgh Anglican Church has been used for many community activities over the years and is currently undergoing a facelift to make the facilities more welcoming and accessible to our community.

Over the past few months, you may have driven past the Anglican Church and wondered what on earth is going on? The Church has had many renovations over the years but this one aims for our site to be more open and accessible to all. A new disabled access ramp will give every person in our community access to activities inside the buildings.

We have also updated our church building to comply with all relevant accessibility requirements, including a new hearing loop and no steps between the hall and the main church building.

The renovations will be completed soon. We’ll be hosting an Open Church Sunday on 2 April that everyone in the community is welcome to attend, or join us at one of our Good Friday or Easter Sunday services.

We hope that the new renovations will serve our community in many ways for years to come. Come and see what we’ve done to the place!
