As temperatures drop and prices rise, churches across the region are being asked to pool their resources to help local communities battle the cold and the cost of living crisis.
Churches across Rutland and surrounding areas are being asked to work even closer together to best serve the communities as we move into the colder months. The ongoing cost of living crisis will begin to be felt even more keenly as we move from autumn into winter and local churches, regardless of their denomination, are being asked to help people stay warm and fed.
Church leaders across Rutland, Northants and Peterborough have been written to, and it has even been suggested that churches consider sharing a single site for all activities including worship. This would help to maximise resources as they step up to help with food and creating warm rooms for communities.
The presidents of Churches Together in the region even suggest services from different denominations, one after the other, in the same place.
