Our aim through our Community Action is:
“To show God’s love in practical ways”
“Uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed” - Psalm 82:3
“Whoever is kind to the needy honours God” – Proverbs 14:31
The Lord said, “I have indeed seen the misery of my people... I have heard them crying out… and I am concerned about their suffering. – Exodus 3:7

-
Litter picking
-
Car Wash
-
Family Fun days
