friendship, care, help

Friendship, care, help

Encountering other people helps each of us to be more outward-looking, to be more socially skilled and versatile.

Encounters enrich us as much as they challenge us.

That is our good hope both for our gatherings as for anyone who will join us.


We do so because that is the example Christ showed us, Christ's challenge to the whole world:

God loved us long before we loved God;

whilst we were still God's enemies God loved us.

Pastoral care

is what people can give to each other.


Many elders have a particular role in our church with visiting and staying touch with people. Naturally, our gifts are all different.


Some church people have a particular gift of listening and and able to keep confidentiality.


So in some of our congregations 'pastoral care groups' or 'prayer groups' have formed. They respond to anyone who gets in contact with them (not only church people).


Our ministers have a particular role in pastoral care through baptisms, blessings, weddings, partnership blessings, people dying, funerals and emergencies.

Friendship

is a gift that many who regularly connect with church gatherings will give to each other.

It is precious and valuable.


But we also love to get to know new faces and are curious to hear your story  and make new friendships.


Many will go a long way to help their friends.

That will be easier when we are familiar with you.


So if you do not find what you are looking for among our meetings, why don't you suggest something new that's missing? Get in touch.

Help!

Many charities (e.g. Samaritans, foodbanks, ...) are founded by Christians or with Christian ethos. That they are charities in their own right makes them no less an expression of God's love for the world.


Here we want to give a list of helping partners. (not yet available)
