"The church should be known not for a million wagging fingers, but for two million arms outstretched" - Rev Joel Edwards
We are a people of hope, seeking to share that hope with others, in 2008 and beyond!
Many thousands of churches are uniting across the UK to reach their local communities with acts of kindness and generosity to transform these communities. We are also participating in this initiative, working alongside St Giles (Anglican), the other church in the village of Kilmington.
In May we shall be seeking to highlight the recycling opportunities in the locality and encourage the local council to do even more.
In June we hope to offer a free low-energy light bulb to every home in our local village
In August we will be present at the Kilmington show and finding a way to bless showgoers there
In Autumn we shall be seeking to present another free gift to every home in Kilmington.
Part of our continuing ministry is to offer free advice to anyone needing it on money and debt problems. Contact us or you can visit several web sites giving help and advice. Red2Black is part of the Hope 2008 initiative. Christians Against Poverty and Credit Action are two Christian organisations giving practical help in managing money and getting out of debt problems. The Consumer Credit Counselling Service is another organisation offering help - their freephone number is 0800 027 4995
