Work has
progressed well on the inside of the Church. The ceiling and walls have all

electrical upgrade and putting the finishing touches to the inside of the
Church.

Plant Sales are
no longer being held every month, but keep your eyes open for the sign outside
the Church for advice of the next sale. Other than donations these fundraisers
represent FOTUC’s primary source of income for the restoration and
maintenance of the buildings, so please support these initiatives. Remember the
land and buildings are not owned by any government or religious organisation,
but held in trust for the people of the village and their descendants.
· The restoration of the Sunday School was completed in April 2004 whilst the exterior of the Church and the toilet block was completed in June 2006. Following the replacement of the water tank work has now progressed to the inside.
