| What does your organisation do? |
It is our privilege to be part of the Parklands community in Chichester, and we seek to serve our community in a number of ways. First and foremost we believe that God has entrusted us with the message of hope – the “good news of great joy” that Jesus Christ, the Saviour of the world, has come that we might be reconciled with God (Luke 2:10-11). We try to match our activities to our message by using our time and resources to put on events that will benefit the local community. Examples of this would be Acorns, our parent and toddler group, and Lunch Club, where we provide meals for the elderly. Where we can we like to be able to make our resources, particularly our premises, available to non-for-profit organisations. Throughout the year we get out of the building and into the local area in various ways, such as the Noise project and Carols on the Greens. |
