Soup Run

 

Let’s start with an apology…. you are all very busy people and the last thing you need is one more request for your time!

We are still enjoying our monthly escapades to the seaside and have a small but committed group of helpers, many of whom have been involved over a 10 year period. What we do is pretty straight-forward, in that we meet at the Sussex Road church car park at 6.30pm (3 people minimum per shift) and head for the coast. The soup/tea etc is prepared in a church hall kitchen, which is clean, well-appointed and hygienic (a welcome change from the previous facilities, some will be pleased to hear!) and served from a trolley on the sea-front. Many people feel intimidated by the idea of being surrounded by homeless people on the sea-front, thinking they may be vulnerable in some way; this caused some of us to question our involvement initially and there’s no denying it is still quite a buzz.

Don’t miss out on a great opportunity to experience this buzz for yourselves; because the work is so important and clearly mandated by Jesus in Matthew Ch. 25 v 35-40.

Will you put your name down for just one session….because as we all know, every little helps? We are there on the 30th of each month, so e-mail us on souprun@haywardsheathbaptist.org.uk  if you think you’re up to it!
