Our work in the community is paying off as we see people who we are feeding in our feeding program start to attend. This has been both a joy and an encouragement from all the attend here. Who would have thought that the people who might b6 thought of as soci@ties outcast or becoming a people who are giving time up out of their day to come and help. During this year we were giving th6 opportunity to run a house which was just a couple of doors up from the church. Much woth was need to put this house back into order as the owner who had be8n ill had let it run down sum what. We weré able to house a couple of people who had start8d to comet church who needed a home at a small rent. In the church much has stayed the same as we have continued to proclaim the gospel to the people in so many ways. Our church although small has big ideas and we have sen the hand of God come to bless us in many ways. We might only b8 a small Gongregation but each Sunday God is there in our service and many say just how God has blessed them. N8Xt year i feel will be a crunch year for us as we what to see if our sowing the seed of the gospel in our communlty pays off Yes we know we have to sow the seed and it is God alone that brings the Increase. As we sow into Ihe fields around agbc we can see the small shoots of growth so we are encouraged. Tuesday lunch Our lunch day is always a very busy day as we have already pre and cooked meals for the feeding progmm and now we get to cook some more food for our special guest that come and have a sit down m8al Our time together is always a liv8ly affair as i murmur about how much sugar p80ple put in the teas or coffees and how many cups they can drink in the two hour p8riod. I don't really mind but we don't half get through some coffee, but when i take into consideration that many of lh8 People that com8 don't have or can afford coff88 i quickly stop my moaning. Food can b6 just what we have in the kitchen and this can range from pasta to potatoes all cook with lov8 by our chef, Our time together is always finished with a time of prayer around the tabl@. Its always wonderful to hear that they will ask for prayer for peopl8 and i always try to remember them all in our pray8r time so that they feel special. Some might not give my lunch group the time of day but as i know that God would so then do we. I prayer that God will continue to bless our Tuesday lunch special as we gather tog6ther. Poppy Club This Is a group that m8et on the second and four Friday of each month, they m*t for fellowship and a craft session and of course a cup of tea or coffee and a biscuit or cake and a chat. all different types of crafts are done and our time logeth@r finishes with a time of prayer. The table that we sit around seems to get bigger each week but there's always a space fore someone new. Our Group has continued to have the macmillan appeal day where cakes are sold to raise money and each year w8 do It our amount that we rais@ gets bigger. If your feeling alone and need the time to talklng do some craft work why nol come and spend Just an hour from 10.30-11.30 with us and im sure you'll be blessed. Sunday school After a long break from Sunday school due to the fact that W8 had no children at our age God has bless8d us with a family that have started to come to our church so Pastor has stopped telling the Bill Stickers stores even though we truly enjoyed them and we hav8 Started up again the Sunday School using two of our young people Hennesha and Joe to front this mission. Our time together has had its difficulties but we are slowly making head way with our young students. Feeding program This year our feeding program has gone from strength to st￿ngth and we are regularfy feeding about 100 people away so w6 are cooking over 700 meals a week. We are continuing to get our food from Fareshare which help us as we help other. During this year wo have added a new ch8f to our team and Trevor and he is fitting in just fine. Our meals ar8 a combination rice pasta potato with veg and curry as a side. Volunteers are always in d&mand to make the work go easy so if your in a mind to gwe us a hand just pop in and ask for Trevor and he'll set you to work. Thanks to all our volunteers without your help we would be hard pressed to undertake th8 work we do Many thanks. Missionary work As a church we are still supporting Timnah and the work Ihat she undertakes to do in Kenya from her in the UK. Things have been different since Govid time and her visits to Kenya has not been as often but she has used the money that we have given her to help the christian Church in Kimengeti and th8 feeding program there. A building has also be erected with funds from the church to b8 used as a sunday school building for the Children as there is not enough room in the church for them lo meet with their Parents. Timnah has also sent money to help a struggling minister in Nairobi who has been suffering with his health. and has needed many opgrations with regards to bowl cancer. Goo to say Ihat he's w811 on the mend and is back in the church.
