36. OUR STORIES What have we been up to What’s coming up We are now ready to plant LifeGroups in to Wisbech. These will start on 25 th February and we are very excited about it. Jack and Jan Groat are going to lead this for us and already there are about 20 people interested in being part of the groups. We had great fun during the Summer of Kindness. We adopted the garden of a 92 year old lady. Teams of us pitched up and cut the hedge, weeded and pruned, laid bark and generally made it look neat and tidy. Have a peep at the finished effect.... Judy and Tony: Moved to the Village 18 months ago – and love it. Tracey was born in the Village and has been a Christian 4 years. She went on the KingsGate Bulembu missions trip. Take a look at her picture Dick was one of the original people who met in Loxley Community Centre more than 20 years ago. 5 people come from Wisbech.
