Serve.
In our first year, we kept it simple by asking you to get involved in two distinct ways; firstly, to commit to joining one of our project teams on any of the four weeks during September, and then secondly, to personally commit to loving your friends, neighbours, colleagues and school teachers throughout the month with intentional acts of kindness. We've kept those suggestions on how you can do this at the bottom of this page.
​
Last year, in light of the recent tragedy that took place, our main serve project in 2024 was our ‘Blessing In A Backpack’ initiative where we sought to provide every primary school aged child in Southport with a backpack full of goodies to simply let them know how loved and valued they are. A huge thank you to everyone who gave towards this and helped in making up the backpacks.
​
This year (2025), alongside personal acts of love and kindness (see suggestions below), we are once again holding some litter picks to clean up areas of our town. And we are also wanting to support the Foodbank ran by Compassion Acts by supplying much needed items that will help them in the run up to Christmas. Below you'll find details of the litter picks you can sign up to along with a list of the specific items needed which can either be brought into our Reception area during the week, or brought specifically on Sunday 28th September at either our 9:15am or 11:15am services on what is deemed as our Compassion Sunday.
​
A huge thank you to you all for your generosity in this.
Loving Southport doesn't have to be for only one month in the year, but can happen continuously throughout. Here are some ways to keep showing some love to those around you.
