A new task for the @GGSHEFF crew tonight on a hot and humid Bank Hol Mon.
We set off from the Showroom via past and future task locations of Heeley People's Park, Reach Homes & Alexandra Road Community Garden which will be the site for our task next week.
We arrived to the Church of Nazareen and were welcomed with water, biscuits and ice pops by SENSATIONAL SOPHIE who gave us a brief background to the church and it's activities before showing us where the tools and paint were for us to get to work re-painting a large storage container on site.
The team got straight to it quickly making light work of the task in hand and not wanting to leave until every bit was covered.
After dragging the team away we made a pit stop on route back for some hang tough fitness working in pairs to complete;
- Plank
- Sit Up's
- Press Ups
On the bars we put in;
- Straight arm hang's
- Pull Up's
- Knee Raises
- Leg Raises
On return to base we stretched and shared updates and headed inside to sample the delights of TREMENDOUS TOM who really could do with auditioning for Bake Off with the skills he has, making some delicious cake for Chris to congratulate him on his wedding! Unfortunately Chris couldn't make it but we all celebrated and gorged in his honor!

The Sheffield Church of the Nazarene is based in the Heeley area of Sheffield for the last 35 years. We are a church in the Weslyan / Methodist tradition. In Heeley we are a thriving Church, we also run activities for the local community and we hire out rooms for local people and organisations. We are well used and much loved by people living in the local area (and further afield) as we provide opportunities for people to get out of the house, socialise, have fun, volunteer and to learn new skills, as well as providing people with the opportunity to practice and explore their Christian faith. We keep rents affordable as Heeley is one of the 5% most deprived wards in the country. Over the years we have built up a strong community presence and people use us to mark a range of family celebrations such as weddings, infant blessings and funerals, we now even have adults who send their children to clubs that they came to when they themselves were little. http://www.sheffieldnazarene.com
