Imagine Sharing What We Have

God Shares.  The Bible teaches us that sharing has always been right there in the heart of God – from eternity. God willingly shares.  So when we imagine God’s Kingdom here in Tulse Hill we see a community which recognises that all things come from God.  This makes a radical difference to the way share what we have: our time, our energy, our care, our possessions, our money.

Acts 435Acts 435
One way in which anyone can do this is through Acts 435, which was set up by one of our former vicars, Rt Rev. John Sentamu. The name, Acts 435 refers to a moment in the life of the earliest church, when everyone shared what they had so that no-one went without.
As an Acts 435 partner church, we are able to nominate the needs of individuals, which are then posted on the Acts 435 website with the prayer and hope that someone else will meet that need. for all we know, it may have been someone from our own church who offered to meet the need; or it could be someone from the other end of the country.

Check out Acts 435 yourself. It is a simple mechanism which embodies much of what we aspire to as we share the life God gives.

Another way we share beyond our immediate church, is by contributing to the West Norwood Foodbank, and being distributors of their vouchers.
