“‘How can we help you?’ is usually what a church asks the community,” says planter Rosemary Lethbridge. “This question has led to us participating in a whole variety of community programmes and events. As a result we have discovered that our community has a more positive view of our church plant and some are even exploring what faith means as a result.” However, the tables were turned last week. The Chair of the local Community Association approached Rosemary and said, “We would like to help you. Each year this Association chooses a charity to fund raise for. We have decided and voted that The Watering Hole<\/em> will receive the money we raise in 2011.” Rosemary says, “Delighted as we are to benefit from extra funding it is the thought behind it that really encourages us.
