Generosity Stories from the Coast – Mustard Seed films to inspire you

Mustard Seed has been working in partnership with the Church of England to produce a series of inspiring films about the Mustard Seed mission.

Here are two of the films sharing Good News from our coastal communities.

Richmond Teardrops Café - Jill shares how her own experience of grief inspired her to develop the Teardrops café. Jill describes how she is not a ‘clever academic person’ but she realised her life experience has taught her so much and she can offer this as a gift to God. Teardrops is a safe space hosted at St Hilda’s Church, Redcar, to support people experiencing grief in the local community, so they know they are not alone.

Tuesday Meal - Kev’s story begins with him turning up at Emmanuel Church, Bridlington six years ago, wet and cold. He received a warm welcome and a cuppa and returned again and again. Kev is now the chef for the Tuesday meal, serving food for people experiencing homelessness in Bridlington every Tuesday evening. A hot meal with a warm welcome, people to listen, prayer and support with housing and other needs. Kev says, “I am just giving back what was given to me”.
