Barton Community Church is a diverse community of around 40 people who call Barton ‘home’ – some who’ve lived there all their lives, and others who’ve moved onto the estate to be a part of the community.
Lauderdale Trust funding went towards a new children and families’ worker.
Since September there have been several outreach events that have brought in other families from the Estate, such as the Kingdom Tots Launch, a Halloween ‘no fear’ event that saw 240 adults and children stop by as they trick or treated around the estate, and our Santa’s Grotto with an interactive experience of the Christmas Story. We had 280 Children over two weeks come to the Grotto and it was so encouraging to see the children and their families engage with the true meaning of Christmas.
