BLAST
Better Living At St Tims
BLAST is our lifestyle project, encouraging us to take one action towards a simpler lifestyle.
This is an exciting new lifestyle initiative brought to you by the Re:Acts2 group, a challenge to live a more generously. Sign up to an action for the year (there are plenty of suggestions on the hand-out, but feel free to invent your own!)and become part of a community that encourages you to continue and try new things.
See how we pinched the idea from Greenbelt at www.generous.org.uk: “Maybe embarking on a life of living more generously we’ll discover it was how we were supposed to be living all along.”
Actions for August/September relate to the Famine in the Horn of Africa:
No sweat! Take time to follow the unfolding crisis in the Horn of Africa and pray. Information from www.dec.org.uk
Hard core – Join other church members in a 24hour fast, leading up to Tea & Prayer on September 14th – see Jo or Pauline Cope for details.
