Welcome to Love My Neighbour
We’re thrilled to invite you to join Love My Neighbour - a powerful winter campaign designed to take us beyond the church threshold, to bring life to older people in our communities.
Why Now? Winter is a time of increased loneliness, especially among those in later life. As the days get darker and colder many older people will forego their usual opportunities to gather and connect with others, and they'll stay at home.
The loneliness this social isolation causes can have a devastating impact on many older people, even increasing the risk of premature death.
Love My Neighbour is a simple but potentially lifesaving and lifegiving campaign to remind and encourage us all to connect with our older neighbours this winter.
Will you join us?
Together, let’s shut the door on this dark winter loneliness, and instead open the door to light, life, connection, and God’s incredible love.
For further inspiration, we share ideas here on these pages, on social media, in our Blog section, and on our YouTube Channel.
Pray for my Neighbour
Praying for our neighbours is a wonderful way to love them. The Bible reminds us that prayer changes things. When we pray we invite God into a situation.
Visit my Neighbour
It begins with prayer, and with wisdom, but hopefully this will lead you to knock on your neighbour's door to offer God's love and ease the burden of loneliness this winter.
Invite my Neighbour
Celebrating the birth of Jesus at Christmas provides Christians with a unique opportunity to share the love of Jesus with others.
Help my Neighbour
Sometimes what would really bless our older neighbours is some practical help - one less thing to worry about surely gladdens the heart!
The Greatest Commandment
Hearing that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, the Pharisees got together. One of them, an expert in the law, tested him with this question: ‘Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?’ Jesus replied: ‘“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.” This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: “Love your neighbour as yourself.” All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.’ Matthew 22:34-40
