NEWS / EVENTS - SEED PROJECTS
At Life Church, we encourage our Life Groups to be involved in the community that their life group is located. One way of motivating this, is for them to be involved with Seed Projects. Seed Projects are random acts of kindness that the life group will do to encourage someone or an organisation and to show them that we care. It is all based on "See a need; fill the need".

On 18 March 2009, all our life groups participated in Seed Projects. Here are some examples of what they did:

Ansjah Bloem:
"We went the morning to the fire station in sea point and gave everyone a breakfast packet and we spend the morning with the staff. They showed us around and we just thanked them for everything that they do in our community! In the evening, we went to the fire station in Roeland street and we gave them powerade and bar ones. They were half way in their shift: 12 more hours to go....so we thought we will just take them a snack to keep them awake and give them some energy! we spend some time there as well."

Sharon's Life group
"We were invited to Ikhaya Labantu Homeless Shelter and Eyabantu Creche in Langa where Karen Belgians from the Wednesday life group works. The day was great. Although hot and long it was very enjoyable, everyone worked really hard. There was so much to do and little time but the team is keen to come back again. Adele fixed the security door on the men's which was a nightmare as it had a metal frame and broke 4 drill bits! Lisa did an awesome God in charge of the garden, weeding. Jacqui tackled the watering system and taught guys form the shelter to paint. Susan, Moyra and Erica planted beautiful flowers along the border to the entrance of the project. Karen started cutting tyres but managed to cut through the power wire! Not the most helpful! Moyra donated 20 tyres which will be turned into potato growing. "

Carita's Project
"We handed out flyers down main road and beach road to people, in post boxes and osn cars. Then in the afternoon we went to Somerset hospital to hand out puzzles to patients and toys to the children. We also prayed with the parents of the children and handed cards to them. Was a great day!"

Renaldo & Noleen (Youth)
"We went to Somerset Hospital to the kids ward. We played with them & handed out Easter eggs to parents & staff as kids were to sick to eat. We also had balloons and chatted with the moms. They were really glad we came it gave them a break."
