Many older people goes for days without speaking with another person, especially during the winter. Your visit could make all the difference
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'
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
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.
When it comes to building connections, there's nothing quite like spending some time together.
Doing a puzzle together can be good fun - choose one that won't take all winter to complete though!
Take a photo album over, invite your neighbour to show you theirs, or bring old pictures of your community.
Reminiscence items can spark great conversations. Take something along from your home, or the library. Church Champion Jan shared some more fab ideas with us.
What a delightful way to knock on your older neighbour's door - bringing Good News AND chocolate!
We also know of a church which buys one of these for every care home resident in their neighbourhood - great idea.
The Real Easter Egg includes an Easter story book in the box, helping you to share the real meaning of Easter.
How can we know God? How can we know what he is like?
These are just two questions many people frequently ask. In this book, J.John unpacks these questions and helps us see that God reveals himself and wants us to connect and interact with him.
This Easter, why not help your older neighbour discover something more about who God really is and exactly how he feels about them? More info and orders here.
Good News includes true stories of how God is changing the lives of those who put their trust in his Son, Jesus. Using jargon-free language, it also explains how everyone can find a personal relationship with Jesus.
What a great idea to share with your neighbours, especially those who are not online. Find out more here.
