Run the race

Local churches working together for the local community

A group of churches in South Bucks and Chiltern has grasped the opportunity to serve their community by planning a series of events and activities to take place during the Olympics and Paralympics Games. They see the Games as a once in a life time opportunity for local churches to show the world what we are about. Extending hospitality to our neighbours is a big part of the Christian ethos and there is no better time to demonstrate the love of Christ in its fullness by serving our community. Run the race is the name of the project which covers Hospitality, Outreach, Justice Prayer and Discipleship.  There is a lot that could be done and these areas help people consider where they might best focus their particular gifts.  A presentation by More than Gold at an event held on 18^th July at St James’ Gerard’s Cross  highlighted the need to build community relations, and sports is a good way to develop connections, bridge gaps that ultimately change lives. A further More than Gold evening to inspire members takes place at Goldhill Baptist Church on Thursday 21^st July.
