"Have you got a Sleeping Bag?"

On Sunday 9th we are celebrating 10 years of the Jericho Road Project at all 5 meetings.  So in addition to having both Steve Tibbert and myself speaking there will be 2 short films describing the Project, I am so looking forward to the church seeing the films.  I want people to laugh, surprised and challenged by the films.  It will be a good Sunday to bring friends and family to.  We are telling great stories that will inspire you!  There will even be soup at the end of the morning meetings - another way of helping 1200 people at King's connect with the work of the Feast!

But we also wanted there to be a way that all those who come to King's can take part and so we are asking the church to donate sleeping bags or blankets to the project to help rough sleepers this winter.  This will help in emergency situations where immediate housing cannot be accessed.  The blankets are very helpful for people who are squatting - in recent months we have had families with babies squatting locally.

Some people might have a blanket or sleeping bag at home that you can bring. But others I expect will consider buying one or more and bringing them to King's on the 9th.  It would be great to have a pile of sleeping bags left at the end of the day.   Please do consider joining in, lead the way!  Ask people you know!

Finally as a way of completing the celebration on the 9th we are having a gathering at 7pm for all those who have been involved in the Project over the last 10 years.  We will have Cake, a free drink from the Coffee Bar, some Thank you's etc.  We will be joined by people who are no longer regularly at King's as well.  I am asking all the residents to join us as well as some of the famous Feast faces.  It will be a special moment.
