A Living Loving Learning Community with Jesus at the Heart
Hearing God's Voice
28 June 2020
As Christians we believe that God continues to speak to us today, just as in the past He spoke through the prophets and his son Jesus Christ.
Be still. Open your ears and listen. What does he want to say to you?
Coping With Lockdown
Are you struggling to make ends meet during lockdown? If so, we can provide practical help with your weekly shopping bills.
Our Food Stop project provides around £20 of groceries for only £3.50 for anyone who is on benefits, has been furloughed or laid off from their job as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. It is also available to anyone who is self-isolating and has no support locally.
Food packages are delivered free of charge each Friday, or can be collected from the church on Friday mornings between 10am and 12 noon. Multiple packs can be supplied where there are two or more people in your household.
To apply, either send an email to foodstop@ollbc.org.uk or phone the church office on 020 8668 6260. We can then assess your precise needs and make the necessary arrangements.
The Food Stop scheme is a joint venture between OLLBC, Croydon Council and the Fareshare food charity. Council staff and volunteers are also on hand on Friday mornings to help with advice relating to welfare benefits, debt, job support and skills training.
Pastor Nick Graves said: “A huge thank you to our partners and especially to the dozens of volunteers who stepped up to the mark following our recent appeal. The response has been simply fantastic. Without them we couldn’t have done this, we just can’t thank them enough.”
You can read more about the scheme on these websites: Croydon Council | Fareshare | Baptists Together
