Outreach to Older Folk in our Community

with ‘Christians-in-Loughborough’

 

..... means regular visits to sheltered, residential and nursing homes, to bring older (often lonely, sometimes ill, frail or infirm) folk into an assurance of God's love and forgiveness, by introducing them to Jesus Christ through His Gospel ~ 'Good News'. 

‘C-i-L’ are men and women drawn from many Christian traditions in our town who give about an hour a month to this urgent ministry amongst older folk.

During our ‘Times of Praise’ we sing well-loved hymns (and some new ones, too!), hear the scriptures, listen to a short gospel-based talk, and pray together.   Sometimes there is a solo singer, drama – or even puppets!    Usually ending with a nice ‘cuppa and a chat. 

In the Book of Exodus, God commands us to ‘honour your father and your mother ..."  and Saint Paul instructs us all to 'Treat older men as you would your own father, and older women as you would your mother'  (1 Timothy 5:1-2). 

This is a lovely gentle ministry to those who so appreciate it;  and we are always made welcome by the residents and staff in the homes.   You’ll meet Christians from other local churches, and if you wish to speak, read, lead, play an instrument, or sing - or make some cakes - great!     But you need only do that which you are able – and holding the hand of a frail person works wonders. Caring love means more than words. 

Please contact if you would like to know more.  

Your presence (young, middle-aged or elderly!) on the team could make a real difference!
