Conversion of dissused church to 9 town flats.

This last week I have been watching the part demolition of a familiar church in the centre of Congleton where I live. This church has remained locked up for as long as I can remember so it's interesting now to see some of it's rafters and windows from the inside, the tower behind is that of the Town hall and not the church spire. The Primitive Baptist Church on Kinsey street is now set to provide accommodation with 9 separate flats.

At one time I would have had sadness and heaviness of heart over a sight such as this, there are after all so many conversions of former churches and chapels up and down the country. Many will say it is a sign of the times we live in, a decline in today's society that no longer do we have a population who yearn to worship God, that church attendance is dwindling everywhere. I have to disagree, here is an opportunity for perhaps young couples to start up with their first home, my prayer would be that they will be blessed, and if they don't know our Lord Jesus yet, that they will have the Gospel presented to them and they will be swept into and be a part of the next revival in this land! Such growth in the spiritual welfare of our nation will bring a wave of new church building, the temple churches of a new generation of believers as mentioned in my earlier post Great Britain How Great You Are - Great Among the Nations.

So, here I stand praising God for the sight of work on this former church, it's usage will change and as for a place of worship, well in faith I will pray that the incoming residents will believe in Christ and honour Him in their new homes, then there will be worshiping at this place once again!

Near collapse of dam above Whaley Bridge

For those of you who have read my posts on prophetic warnings of future floods in London here's what is actually happening now in the North West of England, about 20 miles South East of Manchester in Derbyshire's Peak District. Nine days ago on the 1st. of August the Dam spillway wall of Toddbrook Reservoir sustained severe damage after a period of exceedingly heavy rain. The town of Whaley Bridge that lies beneath the dam has been evacuated. The London prophecies that warn of flooding was not just for London but for other areas throughout the U.K. I can't help feeling that this near calamity and potential loss of life of thousands should be regarded as one such warning, what do you think? At the foot of this post I will leave a link to a full news media report by the BBC on the Whaley Bridge incident.

Below are some of my own pictures of Toddbrook Reservoir taken in 2018 whilst walking from Manchester to London in what started out to be a walk of remembrance for those lost in these cities during 2017. When my walk finished in London on September 22nd 2018 another dimension had been added to the walk not by myself but I believe by the Lord Himself as His Holy spirit gave the powerful warnings for London and our whole nation. If you are interested in the walk I made in 2018 please follow this link, thank you. www.walk164.uk
