So to our last full day with Hands at Work. Once a month, on a Friday, the whole team climb into cars and go out to one of their Communities for a time of prayer and worship before doing some home visits. Today we all went to This seemed to be a well organised Care Point. They had a sizeable room where we gathered and the singing (and dancing) began. Although we couldn’t understand the meaning of most of the words the sense of praise and worship was amazing and you couldn’t help but get caught up in it. Sunday mornings back in Capel are going to seem very tame after that. The message, given by a member of the team, was based on the Samaritan woman at the well. There was then a time of prayer and an opportunity for people to be prayed for.
At the end we decided not to go on the home visits but to return to White River as our last chance for shopping. So we had to say goodbye to Melody, Prudence and Vusie and Bedwin, Care Workers who had been our guides out in the communities - amazing people. After having ‘tea’ in a coffee shop we returned to the Hub for a final debriefing where we had a chance to ask questions and also talk about how we had been affected by our 2 weeks with Hands at Work. I think we all agreed that this had been a life-changing experience for us all in lots of ways.
