Once a month, members of Hilton Church run a service for the residents of Burnside Care Home. Burnside is a wonderful place.The residents are cared for by a dedicated staff team who continually go the "extra mile." The atmosphere is always so warm and positive. For the last few years, the Home has been under continual threat of closure by the Council, which has been a great source of worry for the residents and their families. We hope and pray that Burnside will be around for many years to come, providing a wonderful home for the elderly. This afternoon we had a Christmas service at 3pm and it was a real treat to have so many of the children from our Sunday Club there. Thanks to all the parents who came along with their children at such a busy time. We sang some carols and Iain Polworth told a story about Tobias the Shepherd from Bethlehem, for the children (and the adults!) A good reminder of the Good Shepherd's care which always goes out in search of those who have lost their way. We were then treated to a veritable feast of cakes and biscuits by the staff, which was much appreciated.
Three services down, and in 20 minutes, I'm off to help set up for tonight's Impact Cafe. I think I'll leave someone else to blog about that!
