NEW VENTURE AT THE LIGHTHOUSE

Last year Christians in Larkhall from several churches in the town and calling themselves Larkhall Christians Together approached South Lanarkshire Council to ask to be allowed to use premises owned by them in King Street Larkhall which had been closed.
The Council agreed and the premises were re-opened on 23 September last year with the title The Lighthouse. The premises comprise two interview rooms a third larger room used previously by The Credit Union, a spacious reception area in two parts with reception desk, a kitchenette and very well appointed ladies and gents toilets re-opened for public use. The building is used for a number of church-based and charitable activities.
A new use for the Lighthouse beginning this week is to facilitate the opportunity for anyone who wishes to speak in confidence to a Christian minister. Several local ministers have agreed to be involved in this.
There will be two opportunities in the week; Tuesdays 10.30 – 11.30 and Thursdays 1.30 – 2.30. No appointment is needed you can just drop in.
