METHODIST BUILDING
£40,000 In North Canterbury
Building projects costing nearly £40,000 had been approved for the North Canterbury area, the church building and loan fund committee reported at the North Canterbury district annual Methodist Synod yesterday. This included a £9OO grant from the church extension fund, said the secretary of the committee (the Rev. H. L. Fiebig). The greatest part of this sum will be used for new church and hall erections in the district. More than £25.000 has been approved lor finance of the new church being erected in Somerfield street, a new parsonage at Springston and two new halls in Wairakei road and Mairehau.
Purchases of land properties have been approved at a cost of £B6OO. Of this sum about £5OOO was used to obtain a new parsonage at Cashmere. Approval has also been given for the purchase of nearly three roods of land in Wainoni. The cost will be £1750.
Urgent priority of church expansion had been given by the Methodist Church Council to four Christchurch areas. Mr Fiebig said. They were Riccarton, St. Albans, Halswell and the Wairakei road and Waimairi road areas.
