On
Saturday 5th and Monday 7th May we will
be having our Dare 2 Share weekend. What is Dare 2 Share ? It is
a weekend of community engagement, where we can as a church be ‘good
news’ in our community, by serving them in practical ways. Over the past
few years the youth have been involved in doing car washing, gardening,
football,etc (and have been great ambassadors !) This year is an
opportunity for us as adults to get involved, and do things that will
compliment what is already around. To that end we are running a
coffee morning at the church building on both mornings
(numbers of volunteers for this are filling up as I write). In the
afternoons we will be at Harmeny School in Balerno,(for
children with particular needs), where we will be doing outdoor work,
which may include helping assemble a bird hide, step cutting footpaths
and wood chip surfacing,tree planting(etc)It’s a great opportunity for
team work, and will all be supervised with tools provided. If you want
to do a Harmeny slot please bring your wellies and suitable outdoor
clothing.
We’d
love you to ‘come on board’ for this special weekend. At the core of
Dare 2 Share is worship and prayer, and before we embark on these
activities, we’ll be doing both. We will be meeting at
9.30am
on both mornings, and
2pm
in the afternoon, all at the church building
If you
are free and would like to take part in some way over this weekend can
you let us know a.s.a.p., and certainly by Monday evening (30th
April)
