Congregational responses to work amongst homeless people are co-ordinated by the team. These reponses include being part of a city wide venture to offer emergency night shelters over the winter months and the collection of essential household items for the 'Fresh Start' Project. The team keeps in touch with the key isues on the agenda of agencies, and tries to raise awareness within the congregation. It is concerned for practical action and political advocacy. Although St Cuthbert's is not a 'student church' as such, we do have an informal hospitality scheme to offer lunch with families.
Many people are on a spiritual journey of exploration.
In the course of the year, we offer a ten week course called 'The Journey' to explore the Christian faith for today. This runs from September to December. In the spring we also offer short 'sprints' on specific themes of Christian faith and experience. We are exploring the possibility of creating a Christian community to relate to the club scene. The project will be piloted throughout 2000-2001.
