Looking for God

I was listening to UCB radio the other day when I heard this website mentioned.  If you are interested in getting to know God then  LookingforGod.com is a great place to start looking.  It is an interactive site with videos, music and interviews explaining the next step upon your journey to finding God. I was so impressed that I’ve added it to our links page.

Helping you to find God

Another Jewellery Party

Last Tuesday we hosted another BEad CREATIVE jewelery making evening and once again people gathered to design and make their own creations. You can look at the earlier post for the basic details (see June ‘07) but here’s a few new facts. BEad CREATIVE was founded to support the Blue House Care Centre in Bulgaria. You can get more information on this worthwhile project at the Saltmine Trust website.

BEad CREATIVE was responsible for beginning several “fair trade” style jewellery projects, helping needy Bulgarians earn an income rather than just receiving aid. Initially, BEad CREATIVE helped to support those initiatives by supplying beads and fittings, but since 2005 the projects have become self-sustaining and are now united under the name “KRASIF Bulgarian Craft.

‘Krasif’ is the Bulgarian word for ‘Beautiful’, which is the perfect description for their range of home-made Bulgarian jewellery. For some years they have been running this successful initiative providing income and improving the self worth of the makers who include Bulgarian Christians, and even some disabled young people. It is one thing to continually receive aid, but something else to have the dignity of earning a living for yourself.

At the last jewellery party everyone was too busy having a good time to take any photos. This time a short video was made which can be seen on our YouTube channel. A few ’stills’ from the film are shown here.
