Project in the Precinct
Our brothers and sisters at New Life Church have opened the new youth resource in the Precinct which is called “Mosaic”All the churches within Churches Together in Sleaford and District have been invited to support this very important resource. Regular activities will start again in September when the young people return to school. The New Life team would welcome our support.

Churches Together in Sleaford
As part of our own church’s mission planning, the PCC decided it would support some of the mission work planned for the Precinct in the town centre. As you know this is a project led by New Life Church, operating as part of Churches Together in Sleaford. The initiatives are beginning to take shape. The Community Grocery Shop opened last week with two paid staff and a number of volunteers. They need more volunteers, so if you could help, please go in, have a look around and have a chat with the team. The next project to come on-line is the Mosaic Youth initiative which aims to provide a safe place for teenagers to meet after school and as a base for the town’s youth work. The team hope to open in September. If you would like to find out more, please have a chat with Mark or Rebecca or contact Paul Tricker, the Youth Leader by email paul.tricker@nlcm.org.uk
A message from Paul: - "The team are also trying to raise money for equipment and furniture that we will need for the Youth – if you are able to spread the word, that would be really helpful. People can give here https://www.gofundme.com/f/mosaic-youth-hub"If you would be able to help with either of these projects, then let Mark or Rebecca know. Other initiatives will come on line and we will keep you updated.
Night Life Cafe
The Acts Trust together with Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Trust, have set up Night Light cafes in different churches in Lincoln and would like to expand the service into the towns of Lincolnshire. One will be starting in Sleaford based at the Source Cafe in Southgate in the autumn for two days per week,.
The cafes are hosted by teams of trained volunteers who provide a warm welcome in a peaceful environment, offering a listening ear to those who come. This is a non-clinical, out of hours, support service for people who are at risk of experiencing a crisis in their mental health.
If you are interested in helping out as a volunteer or would like further information, please speak to Robert Bushby Tel 01529 304518 email randkbushby@aol.com
There is also an opportunity for a 10 hour paid co-ordinator for the local cafe.
