community projects
At Coventry Vineyard we seek to express the love and compassion of God to people in practical ways. On the first Sunday of the month, we take church out into the community and our neighbourhoods with community projects.
One of our current community projects has involved making up Easter boxes and taking them to residents of the Coventry Cyrenians hostel in time for Easter. This will bring some Easter cheer and yummy food for those may may be struggling otherwise. Phone the office on 024 7627 8669 or talk to your housegroup about what we have planned. Go on, come and get your hands dirty!
"I'm going to make it a brighter place
With my own two hands
I'm going to make it a safer place
With my own two hands
I'm going to help the human race
With my own two hands"
-Jack Johnson
