Brassall First Ward Youth Service Project – COMFORT ON A COLD NIGHT. The Young Women of Brassall First Ward wanted to provide a service project combined with the Young Men. The girls decided to do something to help those LESS FORTUNATE in our local community.
Many youth have part-time work; are involved in sporting activities and pursuits, so finding time for a large-scale project is difficult.
They needed a project able to be completed during a regular weeknight. They decided to provide comfort on a cold night by packing 150 insulated cups with a sachet of hot chocolate, milk, two prepackaged biscuits, a mint and a stirring stick, fitting perfectly into a cup with the lid attached. Each youth wrote a small inspirational note to put into each; such as “God loves you” “You are not alone” “Remember that people care”, and so on.
The cups were delivered to Ipswich charity “Helping our Homies Inc” who were very appreciative. Sister McNab, the YW President attended the night-time Street Feed on Thursday 11 June, where she saw first-hand how grateful people were for a lovely warm drink on a cool night. The youth who participated found this to be a rewarding service activity.
Matthew 25:40
And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
Galatians 5:14
For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: Thou shalt love they neighbour as thyself.
