CRAFTED WITH CARE FOR SERVICE WITH GRACE
Fullers Finer Furniture first did work for The Church of the Good Shepherd (CoGS) in 2013 and were invited to undertake on site work and provide furniture in 2016.
CoGS is a brick built building, with a tower which was built in 1934/5 and can be found in Collier Row Lane, Romford.
Fullers Finer Furniture became involved with the Church in 2013 when a decision was made to purchase a Canterbury Lectern and a matching Canterbury Communion Table. The Lectern benefitted from gas height adjustment to allow for easy alteration of the height and was fitted with castors for easy manoeuvrability.
Fullers Finer Furniture’s Canterbury Lectern and the larger York Lecterns are all custom made and can be built to suit any building, large or small, old or new. The first gas height adjustable Lecterns were supplied to Churches in the early 1990’s and are still going strong. Over the years the Lecterns have evolved to incorporate Church logos, monitors, microphones and even i-Pad rests where required.
As time went by CoGS recognized the need for further updating of the Church and in 2016 Fullers Finer Furniture were approached by CoGS in relation to the provision of a stage mounted AV desk to match their existing furniture. Records of all colour matches are recorded by Fullers Finer Furniture for future reference.
At the same time an Order was placed for a matching moveable Servery Counter to be used for the serving of drinks 
in the Church. This was on wheels for ease of movement and incorporated storage cupboards for maximum convenience and a practical laminate top. This was ideal for encouraging fellowship, post service, whilst also being robust, practical and versatile.
Finally Fullers Finer Furniture was asked to create a raised stage area at the front of the Church with data, mic sockets and power points incorporated as required. The stage area was constructed with a curved front with an oak nosing to blend with the furniture.
Complimentary site visits are the norm at Fullers Finer Furniture to ensure the Client’s aims and needs are understood, as is the nature and ambience of the building. The objective is for the Clients to be totally confident that the furniture and work undertaken will both serve the intended purpose and grace the building.
CoGS aim is to be a Church where people feel at home and can experience worship and the peace of being in God’s presence. Flowing from that is the aim to be a Church that carries out God’s work in the community and beyond. The Church building and furniture need to enhance and facilitate worship and Christian growth whilst at the same time being functional, practical and versatile enough to facilitate the needs of the Church and the community groups using the building. The AV unit allows for the latest audio and visual technology to be used within the Church. The movable servery means drinks and snacks can be conveniently served in the main Church following a service.
