You CAN make a difference in your neighbourhood!

Just by showing up.

The Word became flesh and blood, 
      and moved into the neighborhood.

Does Richard Cory live next to you?

Whenever Richard Cory went down town,
We people on the pavement looked at him:
He was a gentleman from sole to crown,
Clean favored, and imperially slim.

And he was always quietly arrayed,
And he was always human when he talked;
But still he fluttered pulses when he said,
'Good-morning,' and he glittered when he walked.

And he was rich - yes, richer than a king -
And admirably schooled in every grace:
In fine, we thought that he was everything
To make us wish that we were in his place.

So on we worked, and waited for the light,
And went without the meat, and cursed the bread;
And Richard Cory, one calm summer night,
Went home and put a bullet through his head. (E. A. Robinson)

Neighbourhood life is all about...

A peculiar kind of friendship rooted in accepting others where they are in the way they are.

Be a blessing - build a common life together in your neighbourhood.
