I can’t believe how quickly the year is going by. There are only four weeks until Easter and it seems that we are still cleaning up after the Christmas rush. Christmas can be a very stressful time for people and many who are poor can feel very left out of the celebrations. At the Mission we have a big Christmas lunch for those who wish to come. Over 650 did so and told us they had a good time. Some people say that we should just give food to those in need and let them make their own feast while others think that it is condescending of us to provide a lunch at all. I would like to know what you think.
An interesting development with our Alcohol and Drug Service it an increase in the number of young people and their families making referrals. In the past it has often been school counsellors and other authority figures who have made referrals. We don’t know why there has been a change. Have you any ideas?
It would be good to hear from you. Until next week,
Michael
