Our Ignite Online children’s ministry team continue their series exploring how we can show Jesus’ love to those around us, exploring how Jesus fed the hungry - including over 5,000 people with just five bread rolls and two fish!
Helping the homeless locally
It’s our privilege to show Jesus’ love to those around us in our local communities.
Recently, some members of one of our Emmanuel Communities, based in Gilesgate, helped a local charity by sorting clothing donations.
Durham Action on Single Housing (DASH) supports people at risk of homelessness.
Our group has developed strong links with the charity over recent years, redecorating their facilities, sorting food donations, making up Christmas hampers and doing some gardening work.

Loving our neighbourhoods: Gilesgate Litter Pick
We love to show Jesus’ love through practical serving in our local communities and neighbourhoods.
On Sunday 13th October, we helped run the first Gilesgate Community Lunch and Litter Pick.
We were joined by friends from Durham City Baptist Church, Gilesgate Residents’ Association and local residents.
And despite the rain getting heavier and heavier as the afternoon went on, everyone did a great job! Well done guys!
With thanks to Durham County Council for their advice and loaning us equipment.
