crunch parcels' to older people
in the community.
St Paul's Parish Lisburn, Church Lads Brigade decided to do
something as gesture to older people in the community who
may have been suffering due to the 'credit crunch' that has
increased the cost of living for many people recently.
Over the last few weeks the boys of the company were
gathering together items for their 'credit crunch' parcels
in preparation for delivery on Friday 24th October. Each
parcel contained basic items as tinned products, sweets and
washing-up liquid. The boys and parcels were loaded on to
their mini-bus with the assistance of Andrew Maze (Captain)
they set of for their visits. They were very well received
and their gesture was very much appreciated.
St Paul's uses several community mottos' one of which is 'St
Paul's at the heart of the Community' and this project led
by the C.L.B. is just one way in which this is made
possible.
One other scheme the parish ministry team has piloted this
autumn is a 'community lunch' held in the church hall on
Wednesdays at lunchtime and this is attracting an increasing
number of folk each week.
