We had our first soup kitchen of 2017 last night and it was a very special time with a great vibe.It all began very slowly and by ten past six we hadn't served a single person, but word got out very quickly and in a short space of time we had served 46 people.
Once our regulars began arriving we were given huge hugs from all the kids and enjoyed grateful smiles and banter with the adults in a very relaxed atmosphere. It's a pleasure to see folk so relaxed around church.
Hopefully we're starting 2017 as we mean to continue and we'll see tremendous growth of the soup kitchen and the church through it.
It was also a rare privilege to have Linda and Phillimon with us, normally they're busy with work commitments, and the vibe was assisted greatly by their presence and warmth towards those we serve.
For me this is the highlight of my week, I love serving with my Gathering family.
Lord please radically impact this community!
It was also great to welcome Nicholas to the soup kitchen, he was keen to meet some of the kids he and his classmates had made shoeboxes for.
