Next Saturday, 1 December, the diocesan Children’s and Youth Councils will be in
Worcester city centre offering to pay for car parking and giving out sweets to shoppers.
Children’s Officer, Emma Pettifer, said:
“We’ve done something similar before
and it’s always a great way to start the
Christmas season. It’s an opportunity
to give something back to the people of
Worcester and for our young people to have
an experience of giving while not expecting
anything back in return.
“However, it can be quite a challenging
activity. People don’t understand why we’d
want to pay for their parking and they definitely don’t like taking sweets from children!
It’s good for us to persevere though as it’s a great way to spread a bit of Christmas
cheer at the start of Advent.”
Please pray for all those involved in
the Children’s and Youth Councils
as they hit the streets of Worcester
to share God’s love. And for all the
shoppers and tourists that they’ll
come into contact with.
