SERVING YORK
As part of our vision to serve God’s Transformation of the North of England, our first area of focus is to Serve York, and one of the ways we do this is through our Love Your Neighbour social transformation ministry.
We first partnered with the national Love Your Neighbour campaign in 2021 in response to the effects of the pandemic, but it has grown now to be a central part of our aim to support those in York working to relieve hardship and disadvantage within and importantly beyond our church family throughout our city. Each quarter, we’ll have a different focus as part of Love Your Neighbour, some planned, others kept flexible to respond to need.
In 2024, our focus each quarter will be as follows:
Q1: Restore and homelessness, focus in all services on Sunday 4th February with opportunites to hear from and support Restore
Q3: Focus on Foodbank, on Sunday 13th October, we’ll be celebrating Harvest at all our services, with food donations going to York Foodbank
In 2023, we focussed on the following:
Q1 : asylum seekers, and in particular supporting the free-to-access clothing bank Central Store.
Q2: Besom projects, on Saturday 17th June, we joined together to help with gardening, cleaning and decorating projects. More details.
Q3: Food & Harvest
Q4: Besom Christmas Hampers
