East Ayrshire Churches Homelessness Action Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. Proverbs 3:3 Who would have imagined at the beginning of the year that we’d be still under so many restrictions, all these months since COVID entered our vocabulary. A year like no other, a year that has brought worry and sadness to many. But it’s also been a year of hope, of people slowing down, looking out for each other, taking the time to keep in touch and care for each other, a time for renewed appreciation of our wonderful world, the love of friends and family. A time to appreciate that, as we read throughout our Bible, God will guide us through whatever we face, the joys and the sorrows, and He will never leave us. In March we at EACHa were happily enjoying our Community Friends dropins in the hall, looking forward to Easter and summer days. Of course we had to suspend our drop-ins, but we soon found other ways to help the people we would normally support. We had no idea how this would grow, or even last more than a few weeks. We’ve been overwhelmed by the kindness of our NLK friends who have helped to make sure that our new ventures would be so successful. Our aim at EACHa is faith in action, showing God’s love for every single human being in kindness, respect and in practical ways. Each person matters.
