Do something to challenge yourself this Autumn by hosting or joining a fundraising event to support our Webber Street Refurbishment Appeal. Take your pick from the list below.
Invite friends, family, church, or colleagues, put the kettle on, chat, and enjoy home-baked goods to raise funds for the work at Webber Street. The funds will help homeless people in London hear the gospel for the first time and get the help they need. It is an informal way to share the wonderful work of London City Mission and Webber Street with people over a cup of tea, coffee and sweet treats whilst watching the Webber Street film.
Ultimate Challenge – The LCM coffee morning in 1947 raised £25/9/6 (twenty five pounds, nine shillings and sixpence). This is over £1000 in today’s money. Try and beat that!
Challenge yourself to a sponsored silence to highlight that some homeless people are constantly ignored, and loneliness is an issue for many. Detach from the digital age or stay silent for as long as possible. It could be half a day, a day, or a week if you’re feeling adventurous. How far are you willing to go for the spread of the Gospel? Be creative in finding other ways to communicate throughout the day, e.g., hold up cards, use sign gestures, or learn sign language!
Hold a break-silence party where you can explain your reasoning for doing it, what you learnt, how God worked in the silence, how you felt, and the challenges, and encourage others to do it!
Ultimate Challenge: If you think either one is easy, combine both! See how long you can manage without a digital connection and verbal communication.
LCM’s Big Winter Sleepout was a hit, but how about trying to organise a capital appeal edition for your friends and family? Please get in touch, and we will give you all the support you need to organise one. It can be in your garden or church car park—anywhere safe that people can spend the night experiencing a glimpse of what people who are homeless experience.
