Watch Jim Wallis live online on 3 September as he explores "the Common Good". Register now! View this email in your browser Join New York Times best-selling author Jim Wallis, founder of Sojourners, on 3 September as he encourages us on how we might reclaim the ancient and compelling vision of the common good. Watch live video from this special event where Jim will explore "The Common Good" - a vision not just of looking after ourselves and our nearest and dearest, but of really understanding that we are our neighbours' keeper. The foundation is Jesus' call to love our neighbour as ourselves. What does it mean not just to care about our own family's interests, but to care about other people's interests as much as our own. That's the common good. That's the standard. Seeking the common good isn't always easy, and sometimes it's not even clear how to practically live it out - but we need to have that discussion, that debate, that civil discourse about what the common good really might be. No matter what our politics; Left, Right, Centre or something else - what's right and what works is more and important than what's Left and what's Right.

Make lunch for kids during the school holidays

Free school meals make a huge difference to almost 2 million children in the UK but when schools are closed so are the kitchens ...at Lunch we encourage church and community groups to help us bridge the holiday hunger gap.

Make Lunch is a franchise type scheme which churches can buy into.

Through the Cinnamon Network there are likely in the near future to be grants for the start up funding for this scheme..
