After so many weeks in lockdown, it was absolutely awesome to be back at the Lighthouse Centre with so many familiar faces - and to meet some new faces for the first time too (a huge welcome to Megan & Victoria). 17 runners made our way from home to the centre - some walked and some ran but we all made our own way there using some form of exercise.

Social distancing rules were observed with some members working on the inside taking boxes down from the loft and another group working outside clearing out two sheds - all tasks that needed doing in order to get the building COVID ready for the people visiting the church again. It really was a team effort and with 17 of us, we really did make a big impact in a short space of time.

As always, we were warmly welcomed by Pastor David and colleague Paul. It was very humbling to hear David tell us that the impact of our help meant that they can now open their doors to serve meals to the homeless sooner than anticipated.

At the end of the evening, we received lovely refreshments (Chocolate is always a winner!) and had a good 'socially distanced' natter. I think we all enjoyed catching up so much that many of us were reluctant to go home!

When we did eventually manage to part company, we all made our way home for a well earned rest.

It really was a fab night and lovely to see everyone again. Here's to many more community missions!! XXX
