Tomorrow we are going to be involved in Love Gillingham for the second year running.

Last year’s event was excellent (the photos are in one of those many Flickr albums)and you can read about it here and the days following. This years event looks like it will be bigger and better with more churches involved and over 100 people from the churches involved in practical projects around the town to show, in a real way, the unconditional and ‘no strings attached’ love of God to the community.

The projects this year include rubbish clearing at Queen Elizabeth fields at the Vineries estate, youth drop in run by Gillingham YFC, children’s activities in Balmoral Park, activities in the retirement homes and an art project near Somerfield with local artist Serpentina. I’m involved in the art project this year.

As with last year each morning consists of worship and teaching before we have lunch together and then go to our various projects. Tomorrow I am kicking the teaching off by looking at ‘the image of God’ and what that all means.

I’m really looking forward to chatting with people, learning more about people and seeing where God is working in our community. This was one of the highlights of my year last year and I’m sure it will be so this year too.
