Sherbornes with Pamber – Cornhill Missions 1/7
The Core (final year) Cornhill Students recently went on Missions mostly in the UK but also overseas. It is a chance for them to experience different ministry contexts and be blessed by a local church congregation and be a blessing to them in return. We asked the mission teams to write a short report about what they got up to.
Our time at Sherbornes with Pamber (just north of Basingstoke) was filled with a wide variety of events, both big and small, where we were able to speak of Jesus and share the gospel, under the theme of Hope in a Hopeless World.
We enjoyed being put on the spot during the question time at the local primary school, and later that evening at the event in the local pub. Some of us visited a local care home, whilst others joined the Mum’s and Young Children for the afternoon tea. Over the weekend, there were parties for all the children and youth that we were able to join in with. Saturday morning was spent helping at a men’s breakfast, followed by a women’s coffee morning and finished with a Saturday night quiz. Our Cornhill team ran the entire Sunday morning service and this was followed by a bring-and-share lunch.
It was great to be able to encourage the church in proclaiming the gospel and living for Jesus, and for ourselves to be encouraged by the ways that Sherbornes with Pamber is going this. It was also a great reminder that we do not always have time to prepare an answer, but can always give the reason for the hope that we have when asked.
