HOPE 2007

Showing active compassion for others!

“I will show you my faith through my good deeds” James 2:18

 

26th-29th July this year will see churches uniting for the purpose of reaching out to the people of Henfield showing God’s love through practical action. There will be organised groups of young people providing help to those who need it. They will be conspicuously dressed clearing gardens; providing basic DIY in homes; clearing public spaces; providing holiday clubs for younger children; events that reach the elderly; and lots more.

Although this proposal supports the Village Action Plan for Henfield, its main tenets will be: to help those who cannot help themselves; to help those who cannot afford to do things; and to provide a service to help the local environment. It will promote young people in a positive light, which fits into the West Sussex Youth Strategy and Horsham District Council’s Community Development Strategy in supporting communities.

 

The King’s Field will provide the focus for events which will include an extension of the youth club night; a worship event in the marquee; a Salsa night; and a barbecue with fun and games and lots more.

 

Where will you be on 26th-29th July this year? Not gone away on holiday? Then sign up for this event which will encourage you, challenge you and satisfy you. Giving to others without the expectation of payment brings unexpected personal satisfaction; it brings hope and joy to those who do not have any; it demonstrates that church is not irrelevant and outdated but is prepared to do something for the good of society; are you up to it? Contact KJ now for more details for both joining in with the action and getting tickets for the events.

 

Are you looking for a sponsorship opportunity for a community based initiative? There are opportunities to display your company on our advertising leaflets, posters, t-shirts, banners and within press articles.
