Community
Outreach
THE HUB
is a community event, held 10am-12 noon on Mondays at the Town Hall, and run by the town council to provide help, advice and assistance to local residents in need. We provide a presence there to chat and/or pray with anyone who would like to speak to us. There is usually an alternative gathering at the Hunstanton Conservative Club on Bank Holiday Mondays and the like when the Hub is not open. On warm weather days in the summer some of the team will go out into the highways` and byways for ….
TREASURE HUNTING
involves a small team meeting for prayer and worship together before going onto the streets and public gardens of Hunstanton every seeking those whom Holy Spirit has led them to, by providing “clues” in the form of “words of knowledge”. The aim is to bless these “treasures” with prayer, healing or a word of encouragement (with their permission, of course). We are open to pursuing other forms of Outreach and, if the weather is not conducive to chatting to people out and about, we prayer walk the town and/or seek to interact with staff and customers in local shops, or focus all our attention on The Hub.
DRIFTWOOD
We hold a short service at one of our local Care Homes at 10am on the second Wednesday of each month. We sing some suitable songs/hymns and share a brief Word, following which we chat, and pray (if requested), with the residents who join us.
Garden
Our church garden is an ongoing project by Cathy and other volunteers. Our aim is to provide an outdoor space for quiet prayer, relaxation, fun and the occasional summer barbecue. It can serve us well as a fresh air alternative to the Café after a Sunday meeting in the summer.
Prayer Walking
From time to time, as the Lord prompts us, members of the church family will go out into the local area to pray for the community under the banner of “Your Kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.”
When the weather is not suitable for Treasure Hunting on the streets, we will often prayer walk instead (unless the weather is really bad, of course!).
Easter
Hunstanton Churches Together organise a “Walk of Witness” through the centre of Hunstanton on Good Fridays and a SONrise Service on The Green (very) early on Resurrection Sunday. This is followed by a breakfast hosted by one of the churches before we go our separate ways for our individual churches Easter Celebrations.
We are always pleased to welcome visitors to join us for these significant occasions. (right).
Lunches & Brunches
We have a “Bring & Share” lunch on the first Sunday of each month and a Brunch on the third Sunday after our morning meeting. Tea, coffee and biscuits are available on the other Sundays. In December, on the Sunday nearest to Christmas, we push out the gravy boat and have roast turkey with all the trimmings as well as wearing the compulsory party hats! The Lunch and Brunch schedule is adjusted accordingly.
Our kitchen is well equipped to provide hot meals (with facilities for heating up food during the service that people brought in) and, of course, to clear up afterwards with two dishwashers to supplement the elbow grease employed at the sink!
Through “Hunstanton Churches Together” there are quarterly “Faith Meal” lunches hosted by a different local church each time. In addition one of the churches hosts a joint service and lunch weekly throughout Lent.
