Visit my Neighbour
The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
Matthew 25:40
Some of us already have easy relationships with our neighbours; exchanging the proverbial cup of sugar often and sharing our lives together. Others are yet to exchange more than a 'good morning'.
Whatever your situation is, we encourage you to take an extra step to love your neighbours this winter, especially your older neighbours.
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.
We have a few ideas and resources to help you, depending on what your next step looks like.
Ideas & Resources
Gift Bag Ideas
Making gift bags for older neighbours this winter, either as individuals, a homegroup, or a whole church, is a simple, thoughtful way to show love and care, especially during a season when many older people can feel isolated and forgotten.
What a charming way to brighten someone's day!
