GLU - God Loves You Tuesday 6th July until Saturday 10th July 2010.
Once again we are looking for volunteers of all ages to help with our outreach to the Ballynafeigh area. Last year we cleared up loads of gardens, painted quite a few fences and washed stacks of cars, not to mention the craft demos, community cafes and mural painting. We want to make this year even bigger and better, and to do that we need YOUR help!
This project is for people of all ages - we need all sorts of talents and abilities. Last year our volunteers ranged from 8 to 80 and we’re happy to have you even if you fall outside that bracket!
Men and women from all different backgrounds found out how much you get back when you put a little in. This is your opportunity to shape your own way of showing God’s love!
