Befriending the Elderly

4 July 2010

I love the way God has a special concern for those that are lonely, downtrodden or trapped by health or circumstance. I am sure we can all think of people that we know that this describes. I also love the way that as a church family we are part of the answer to some of these problems of isolation and imprisonment. We have a role to play for those in our church but also in our wider community for whom life feels empty and rather meaningless. We can all bring some joy to someone’s life simply by spending some time with them.

A few months ago we gathered over 30 people who were interested in exploring how we could love and serve the elderly in our City. Over the last few months Steph McCann has been finding out what the greatest needs are within the voluntary sector for tackling some of these issues of exclusion in Newcastle and how we might get involved. We plan to launch a befriending scheme in the Autumn term to appropriately match people with some time and skills to those over the age of 50 who have asked for some support. This might be as simple as having a cup of tea and a chat with someone once a week for an hour, or it might be more practical help such as accompanying them to the shops, or cutting their lawn.

Summer Family Meetings

1 July 2010

Over the Summer there will be no separate kidswork on a Sunday morning. Instead the meetings will be geared towards including the children and helping them to understand more about Jesus.

It is also great to honour all those who serve on our kidswork teams so faithfully, by giving them a rest.

Summer Sundays will begin on Sunday 25th July and continue until the start of September.
