Why Isaiah 58?sawing_cropped_small

Isaiah58 is a project inspired by the words of God, spoken through an Old Testament prophet - Isaiah. There and throughout the Bible, God clearly shows his heart for justice and for those who are in need. He wants us to show that concern in the way we live our lives – by putting our faith into action. And that’s what the Isaiah58 project is all about.

How does it work?

Isaiah58 enables young people to put faith into action by serving in their local communities. That might mean gardening for an elderly person, painting a room for someone who cannot do it themselves or being part of a village litter pick.

One Saturday morning a month, teams of young people will be getting out and about in a village near you. Each team will have a leader and will help out in the village in practical ways. That could be gardening, painting or chopping up firewood. If you want to get involved, you’ll need to get in touch with the Isaiah58 co-ordinator in your village. You must be in School Year 9 or above to take part, and if you’re under 18 you need to get your parent or guardian to complete a consent form (see link below). Remember to wear old clothes and strong shoes – you might even get dirty…

Tuesday, 16 October 2007
Massive thanks to the eight young people who turned up on Saturday to help with Meridian School's gardening project. We were digging flowerbeds for the new 'Space Garden' that children from Meridian have designed. No need to go down the gym - all that digging was a full body workout. Next Isaiah58 in Comberton is Saturday 17th November; but look out for Isaiah58 Hardwick starting up soon!!moto_0101moto_0100

What is Isaiah58? PDF Print E-mail

Isaiah58 logoIsaiah58 is a project inspired by the words of God, spoken through an Old Testament prophet - Isaiah.  There and throughout the Bible, God clearly shows his heart for justice and for those who are in need.  He wants us to be active in our faith serving people in practical ways.

It’s all very well hearing about God’s love for us and how we should share that through our lifestyles, but it’s often hard to know how.  Isaiah58 will involve and encourage young people to serve in their local communities.  We aim to help engage young people with the community, hopefully building bridges between social and age groups.
