SERVE Nazareth provides experiences like no other. Our programmes are tailored to each volunteer providing a personalised journey and experience for each SERVEr. Each volunteer encounters something unique and special to them.
We were recently joined by a church group from Scotland. John from the group shares some of his experiences with us.
“In April of this year I was in Nazareth with a group from my local church as part of the SERVE Programme of the Nazareth Trust. We were there to take part in a mix of support activities centred on the Nazareth Hospital EMMS and the Nazareth Village, but also took the opportunity to visit key places around the Galilee and in Jerusalem.
On the hospital campus we picked litter, trimmed hedges, painted railings and accompanied the hospital Chaplaincy Service. At the Village we transformed into first-century farmers and labourers to populate and help recreate the experience of everyday life in the time of Jesus.
Two highlights will stay with me. Firstly, simply being in the places where Jesus was and walking where Jesus walked and secondly, living communally with eleven others, sharing meals, sharing spaces, sharing resources, sharing conversation, sharing lives.”
