Blessing Weekend

James 2 14 What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? 15 Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. 16 If one of you says to them, ‘Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,’ but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? 17 In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.

On the Saturday of the first weekend of the month we find practical projects to bring blessing to our community. Projects mainly involve gardening, decorating or generally tidying and sorting. As well as being a blessing to others, we have a lot of fun and it is great for families to be able to work together knowing they are helping someone out.

We try to alternate between blessing members of our own community and taking projects from the BESOM organisation, which links referrals from Social Services to groups such as ours. See below for some of our projects.

New Chicken House

Uschi says - I want to thank everyone who turned up last weekend to help us with the chicken run and the decorating in the loft. It makes such a difference when there are more people. At one point the garden was heaving so Jane and Joy started painting. It was a proper blessing weekend as people continued over all three days to turn up and help. Because of all the support we were able to buy in new hens. We are still waiting for them to start laying as they are pretty young. An extra big Thank You to Sarah and Joy who turned up twice.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
