Members of the "Kids for Christ" group dug the first few spadefuls in preparation for work to start on phase two of the church' building project.

This phase will provide the building with a new entrance hall and kitchen.

Work is expected to be complete by Easter 2002.

The building is used extensively by the community, being the home of Kidderminster Bridge Club and Somerleyton WI, Slimmers World, Multiple Scleroris and Keep Fit societies, the Twins Group and a "Young at Heart" group for the over-50s.
