Introduction


Welcome to the Rushden Mission “40 Days of Community” Blog. Over the next 40 days we’re going to be exploring the theme “What on earth are WE here for?” The whole church, from the youngest to the oldest, will be in this together. We’re very excited about what God is going to do in and through this time of study as we learn what it is to be community in our church and to see how we can serve the community around our church.

This is where we’re going to be sharing our stories, experiences and thoughts and we pray that these will bless and encourage you too.

God bless

Project Thoughts

During the small groups we are considering some form of project to reach out to the community. In one group we expressed difficulty in getting to grips with an obvious idea. We reflected on the work the church currently does with lunch club, single mums and various other initiatives. We could build on these, perhaps giving more assistance to those in the church who give up their time already to make them work.


One person I spoke to from another group was going to Wellingborough to the Hemmingwell Estate to see what another church has been doing to create a place for the community utilising an old pub!

Another person I spoke to confessed to some intrepedation within their group as they look around the group and wonder what they can all get involved in. 

We will continue to pray and God will show us what He wants us to get involved with. We are making ourselves available and there will be something we can all be part of.
