What an amazing time of the year for a 'New Start and a 'New You'!

On Sunday 3rd January we were out and about on the streets in Chester giving away some healthy snacks and treats - to help us start the new year in a new way. And here are some simple ways to get going...

1) Find Community

See what the Harvard Study of Adult Development concludes from the longest study on happiness.
​

Being connected in a community helps us feel like we belong and this has a big impact on our own happiness, that of our family, and the community as a whole.

​Why not try out one of our; 

• Small Groups
• Sunday Gatherings
• English Cafe
• Tiddlywinks Pre-School groups

2) Find Purpose

For many of us there is a gap between the life we are leading and the people that we feel we really are. Too many of us spend large portions of our lives doing jobs or activities that we may not necessarily believe in or feel truly motivated by.
​

​You may have questions about your purpose and the meaning of life. We'd love to invite you along to;

• Sunday Gatherings - where we're currently exploring theses questions
• Our next Alpha Course - email us at hello@vineyard53.org for dates
• The new year could be a great time to join a church community, explore faith questions and think about the big questions in life

3) Invest in what matters

Time and time again surveys pull up the same ideas for wellbeing;
​

​

• Work on key relationships - On Friday 22nd January we have a Marriage Date Night - it's an opportunity in a relaxed and informal way to think about what makes a marriage work and have time to chat to your spouse. 
• Learn to be positive and thankful
• Volunteer your time, energy and skills
• Think about healthy ways to live
