Are you an activist? If not, you could be.

Activists come in all types, but the kind of activist we're talking about are those who are doing as Christ told us - getting involved in our community, helping others, standing up for injustice.
Jesus was an activist and did just that.
He stood up for what was right and most important, he did God's will.

Some of the ways you can become an activist are listed below.

Did you know:

There is a Litter Pick in April around East Leake? We need a clean and tidy place to live. Watch out for further details.

Community Care is a local organisation where many people volunteer to support those in the community. They visit those who can't get out and about, provide transport for hospital and Drs appointments, run coffee mornings (St Mary's is on Friday mornings) etc.
Check out their page on the village website if you'd like to help, or need help. http://www.east-leake.co.uk/communitycareassocia.html

Religious Education is under threat in our secondary schools! The government is planning the new Baccalaureate, but plans to omit Religious Education from the Humanities options i.e. History and Geography. 
There is a petition on http://www.reactcampaign.co.uk/ website. Please add your name to this petition so that R.E. will continue to be taught in schools and be part of the new qualification.  This is really important!

So, to be an activist so far, all you need to do is, one day of litter picking with lots of others, contact the Community Care people to see what you can do, and sign your name on a petition!  That's not so hard.
Christians are just like everyone else, and they do care about their neighbours, their community and are prepared to do something about it. 
Come on and join St Mary's and all the churches together in East Leake.
