Christmas Lunches with the Briers in South AfricaYou will hopefully recall that Hallwood Parish were asked if we could send money to pay for Christmas Lunches for poor people in South Africa. The idea was to serve people a three course meal including some meat (a real treat for most recipients) and all for £ 3 a meal. The first good news was that people responded generously and Lynn was able to send off £ 210 which would pay for Christmas Lunch for 70 people. Well, there is more good news: over a two week period The People's Church served more than 750 Christmas Lunches in six locations across Worcester! Paul and Elaine Briers say "It was no small feat and a massive challenge to our small team of volunteers. We still feel like we've only scraped the surface of the needs and poverty that still remains like a cancer but...we've done as much as we possibly could do! God bless you in 2010."
A final thank you to everyone who helped to make this possible. Lynn Walton.

Sunday servicesMonthly Prayer TopicThe topic for February is We bring to you in our prayers, heavenly Father, all lonely people, especially those who are too old or infirm to enjoy company, and those who are isolated from others through suffering and illness, or through a sense of inferiority. We pray that friends and neighbours may be enabled to reach them and lift them out of their loneliness and bring them comfort and hope. We ask it in Christ’s name. Amen. (Basil Naylor) |
