Young homeless people and children with physical and learning difficulties will share more than 160 Easter eggs thanks to the United Reformed Church’s (URC) children’s and youth work team.

Since February, the team has been collecting Easter eggs donated by colleagues at Church House after they registered the building as a ‘donation station’ through the ShareTheMiracle initiative.

In total, 164 chocolate eggs were collected and shared between Action for Children's Camden and Islington Short Breaks service, and the Single Homeless Project (SHP), both in Islington.

A leaflet is being prepared in connection with ‘Walking the Way: Living the life of Jesus today’, the United Reformed Church’s focus on lifelong missional discipleship, to help people on their faith journeys.

It is based on the journey to Emmaus which contains within it four actions: the friends of Jesus stopped; looked; listened; and then walked back to Jerusalem. These actions lie at the heart of our walk with the Lord.

In the leaflet, we would like to include a section called ‘a disciple’s story’ which is a brief testimony from someone whose experience reflects one of these actions.
