800 acts of kindness from village church

by Hannah Tooley

The village of Congresbury has exceeded its challenge of more than 800 good deeds to celebrate 800 years of its local parish church, St Andrews.

The 3,500 villagers have been taking part in the anonymous Love Congresbury project, where the good deed is written on a small note and posted at the church.

Becci North, one of the organisers of the Love Congresbury and an active member of the church told Premier that the deeds "range from one child helping another child to put their socks on after gym class, somebody mowing somebody's lawn, giving somebody a lift to hospital, giving aid to Calais."

She told Premier that she was "absolutely amazed, it's been absolutely wonderful to think that so many people have embraced it, of all ages, all backgrounds of faith, of no faith."

Becci North said that it was a way of enforcing community and "spreading God's love through the community."

A Monthly Gift Of $11 Makes A World Of Difference

In a world of fake news there’s never been a greater need for quality Christian journalism. Premier’s mission is to provide the Church with the most up to date and relevant news, told from a Christian perspective. But we can’t do it without you.

Unlike many websites we haven't put up a paywall — we want to keep our journalism free at the point of need and as open as we can. Premier’s news output takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. No one in the USA is sharing news like we are across radio, magazines and online so please help us to continue that today.

For a monthly gift of $11 or more we’d also be able to send you a free copy of the brand new Premier Bible, a wonderful Anglicised version of the NLT packed with exclusive bonus content, reading plan and resources to help you get the most out of scripture.

Your monthly support will make a world of difference. Thank you.
