It’s all GO in the community

It is called a ‘GO Week’ because as the minister Rev Robert McCollum explained, “the congregation is going out to serve the community”.

A wide range of activities have been planned in which most members of the congregation will participate. These activities will include:

• A Caring Ministry. “Older people can often be neglected by family and community so we plan to visit the elderly so that the week includes them”, explained the minister.

• A Book Fair. A wide range of Christian books and Bibles, catering for all ages, will be on display for sale on Thursday 8th. In addition a special feature will be a range of hand books. Coffee, scones and traybakes will be served at this event.

• A 5-Day Holiday Bible Club. Children had a special place in the ministry of Jesus so the church plans to cater for children (ages 4-11) in the church building on the Nettlehill Road each evening from 6.30-8pm.

• Community Lunch. On Thursday 9th, lunch for senior members of the community at 1pm. This will be an event to build friendships and enjoy a time of social interaction over a meal.

• Nursing Home Visits. During the week a group from the church will visit nursing homes in the community to provide entertainment as well as present a message of encouragement from the Bible.

• Upper Room Ministry. A team from the church will provide a ministry for those suffering from depression or various kinds addictions on Tuesday 6th.

• A Special Guest Service. Sabbath evening 11th at 7pm. The guest service will link in with the theme “Everyone hurts”. Mr McCollum will preach about the ministry and message of Jesus to a hurting world. Everyone in the community is invited.

The congregation is hoping for good weather for all outdoor events – especially for the community BBQ on Friday evening.
