Rasen churches working together to give a listening ear

Local churches are working together to support people during the current crisis and giving a listening ear to those who need it.

For many, daily contact with other people has been lost and this can lead to a feeling of loneliness.

That is why church leaders in Market Rasen have said they are there for a friendly chat.

They say it doesn’t matter which church you are from - or no church at all - anyone can call any of the numbers; the important thing is speaking to somebody at the end of a phone.

Numbers to contact are:

• the Rev Claire Walker (Church of England) 01673 844521

• Father Robert (Roman Catholic) 01673 842323

• the Rev Heather Wilson (Methodist Church)01673 843362

• Rhona Sheppard (New Life Church) 01673 849941 or 07813 691733

• Envoy Terrence Carpenter (Salvation Army)  01673 842859.
