happy mother’s day
welcome to Frontline Church NEW HERE?
Stories “When I moved into my new house, I started to make an effort to say hello to my neighbours. I had this image of having them all round for a big meal where I would share the love of Jesus. For me, this was flawed; what I’ve slowly learnt is that sharing Jesus’ love is about meeting their needs and letting them meet mine. An elderly couple live across the road, and both suffer with various health conditions. Meeting their needs looked like offering to wrap the many Christmas presents they’d bought for their 19 Grandchildren; although they didn’t accept the offer. 2 weekends ago, I had some meat that I needed to cook but wasn’t going to eat; the same morning I saw a neighbour, a single mum from Romania who had been diagnosed with a heart condition and was struggling to look after her children. This was a neighbour that i’d felt wasn’t very open to building a relationship but I felt prompted to take food to her. When I went over she welcomed me into her house, despite the mess and chaos and I met her family. Since then I’ve been round once a week to help her translate her doctors notes and pray with her (she’s catholic) She’s also cooked Romanian food for me and told me that back in Romania it’s the culture for neighbours to be in and out of each other’s houses, but here it’s so closed off. She said that I’m the first neighbour to reach out to her in 7 years, and every time I arrive at her door it’s ‘like Jess is next to me’. Putting myself out of my comfort zone by knocking on someone’s door is really scary but when I think about how it can open up an opportunity for God to move in their life, it’s a no brainer.”
c’mon and Celebrate! We love to celebrate special occasions as an extended church family
