Neighbourhood Chaplains – a new opportunity coming in the new year
Here is some news about a new venture called Neighbourhood Chaplains that we would like to bring to Newport. Neighbourhood Chaplains connect local churches with their communities in new ways, helping to tackle loneliness through befriending, and offering practical help towards meeting their neighbour’s physical, emotional and spiritual needs. Martin Erwin, CEO at Counties, said: “The aim of Neighbourhood Chaplains is to equip volunteers so they can show the love of Jesus in both word and action. It gives local churches the tools to connect their community projects with the vast numbers of lonely people in the UK.”
Neighbourhood Chaplains is a Counties initiative, and they provide all the training required, as well as uniforms, publicity, support etc. (See www.countiesuk.org/neighbourhood-chaplains for more details). There will be a training day on Saturday 19th January in Newport for anyone wishing to join in. Please let Tomi Brown from Nant Coch Church know if you are interested in joining Neighbourhood Chaplains, or would like more information, on 07759 159260 or via email at [email protected]. More details next month.
