As a congregation we pride ourselves in supporting our neighbours at a time when we are celebrating the riches of harvest and all its benefits which we are lucky enough to enjoy.

Dear Supporters, 23/9/20
It is the season of Harvest and a time to give thanks. Here at Lodging House Mission we have many supporters who have stood with us through this challenging period while our day centre remains closed. We are grateful to all those who continue to support us in both big and small ways.
There are a few upcoming events to let you know about. Firstly, as we intimated in our previous newsletter our Harvest Appeal 2020 looks a little different this year. Details of how to support this appeal are below and we thank you in advance for your support of our appeal. Our Chaplain has made a short video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFsNEuFCN6I ) also available via the Lodging House Missions YouTube channel. Congregations can this through online meetings or as part of a gathered service of worship.
Our annual Homelessness Sunday Service was due to take place on 25th October with the Moderator Rev Martin Fair delivering an address. While our buildings remain closed, the Moderator has kindly agreed to record his address and we will make this available on our YouTube channel in due course.
This year while our buildings remain closed we will be moving our Christmas card sales online, to make your purchases safer and simpler. Please look out for the link (coming soon) and share as widely as you can through your church publications and organisations so that everyone is able to benefit from this popular service.
As autumn plans and preparations get under way, we ask for your continued prayers for,

What you Can Do...
The Lodging House Mission (aka trotters) is open Mondays – Fridays and, on average we see 100 homeless, vulnerable and socially excluded people visit us on a daily basis. We provide Food, Activities, Chaplaincy and Education Services (FACES) and have been providing food and support since 1909. We do not receive Government or Local Authority funding and rely on the continuing financial support of individuals, grant awarding bodies, charitable trusts, church donations and of course, you.
