Saxon Fields is the new housing development which is underway in Thanington, to the south of Cockering Road. There are currently around 150 homes built and occupied. Last Sunday afternoon, Revd Nick and Clary visited Saxon Fields, with the help of some students from Youth With A Mission.
The aim was simply to meet some of the residents who have moved in over the past couple of years, to find out how things were going for people on this new estate and to offer to pray for them and their families. We hope that in some small way this is an expression of God’s love.
A lot of people were not at home , no doubt enjoying the good weather. But it was lovely to chat with some people on the doorstep, to find out how they are settling in and what it is like living here, to give information about Thanington Parish Church and to pray for those who asked. We met people who had been some of the first to move in as well as people who had only been there a couple of months. We met people of different nationalities and faiths.
Later that day , one resident got in touch to say: “Thank you for reaching out. It really cheered me up! I will certainly get down to St Nicholas Church and see what you’re all about.” We will be glad to welcome them and we will be glad to welcome you. Maybe you are looking to meet othsr people in Thanington, looking for somewhere to worship, looking to explore the Christian faith, or just looking for something more to life (even if you’re not sure what it is!). You are welcome at Thanington Parish Church. More information about what we do can be found on our wesbite.
