I Care

I Care

This is how we connect with and give back to our local community. Through this ministry, we seek to express and share the love and goodness of God to those outside the church who are less privileged, oppressed of the devil, in need, and the general populace.

Here are the projects we run:

NATTER

Natter is a community coffee morning fostering connection among individuals over 55, combating isolation. Open to all, regardless of faith, it provides a friendly environment to make new friends. While non-religious, it offers optional extras like natter+ and natter with God, allowing participants to explore or reconnect with Christian faith.

GRACE BOXES

Grace Chapel’s community ministry provides essential support to those in need, offering groceries, clothing, and household items for individuals and their children. Visit us at Grace Chapel on Thursdays by 6:00pm, to access this assistance and find the help you require.

ANNA’S FORUM

Join our welcoming widows’ forum, a safe space to share, connect, and find support. Enjoy tea, heartfelt conversations, and encouragement among fellow widows and our friendly team. Meetings take place on the last Tuesdays of the month at 10:30 am. Embrace companionship and understanding in a nurturing environment.

SINGING FOR PLEASURE

Every Friday at 11:00 am, women and men gather to sing hymns and folk songs. They visit care homes during activities and get invited to events and fairs. This musical community spreads joy, connecting with others through heartfelt melodies, enriching lives in care homes, and adding vibrance to local events.

In the melody of gratitude, voices blend, singing for pleasure in God’s embrace. Harmonies rise like prayers, weaving joyous notes into a sacred hymn. Each refrain becomes a whispered celebration, a soulful serenade that resonates with the pleasure of devotion, creating a blissful connection in the heart’s chorus of worship. you are welcome tobe a partaker of this wonderful experience.
