Sara has been speaking with Rev’d Michelle Webb about how St Giles Church, Lincoln<\/a> have been seeing God at work on their estate, where Michelle is Assistant Curate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Michelle tells us of the privilege it is serving in an estate church and that God has been at work in a way they wouldn’t have seen if it hadn’t been for covid. During lockdown, instead of running a holiday club, the church delivered craft bags with a biblical theme during school holidays, the project has grown from 50 bags being delivered two years ago to around 170 in the last school break. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Michelle noticed that in reaching out to families through the craft bags that they have been able to have some amazing conversations with people who had previously been hesitant to talk about faith. She says that talking with families on the doorstep during lockdown, she found that people have a thirst to know more and to have their questions about God answered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
