Greater Bangor Area Street Pastors

Greater Bangor Area Street Pastors Get updates from the Greater Bangor Area Street Pastors! What is a Street Pastor? "Pastor" derives from the Latin noun which means "Shepherd".

They are neighbors who love their community and demonstrate this through listening, caring, and helping people on the street. They volunteer their time to be available during the late night through the early morning hours. It is a person who cares for people. A "Street Pastor" is not a "Street Preacher". A Street Pastor has been committed to a local Christian church in the Greater Bangor area, is

over 18, and has gone through a "Street Pastors" training program. For more information about Street Pastors, visit www.streetpastors.uk

so I missed the boat on getting this information out in a timely manner... but our friends at Needlepoint organized a cleanup around downtown. Next year i'll try to pay better attention and make sure we get the info out so that we can help pitch in to get this city looking a bit more tidy after the winter blahs left so many layers of trash behind!

‘That’s my favorite pastor, right there!’ Called out a voice on second st. As the team looked at each other trying to work out which one of us had spent enough time with this person to be a favorite, they crossed the street and came right up to… Ellie.

So we gave out an Ellie trading card, a tootsie pop, and had a nice chat for a couple of minutes.

We didn’t have a lot of involved conversation yesterday, but she definitely started a couple conversations we probably wouldn’t have had otherwise. One person said ‘oh cool! Your dog loves Jesus too!’ Which is probably true. someone who made snacks (feeding big crowds), met new people with kindness, and loved little children would be right up there on Ellie’s favorite list.

We had a good patrol in the sun. Downtown looks different with all the snow gone! There also is a lot of sand from winter and a bunch of trash visible now. We picked up a few things along the way and put them in trash bins, but it could sure use a bit more work to be ready for everyone to get back outside!

Do you know any youth who could use some mental health support geared for them? What about adults working with young people? If so, check out this Youth Mental Health summit happening next week in Bangor. Some of Ellie and Aubrey's fellow therapy dogs will be providing support at this event! Registration should be open through the weekend.

Cancelling patrol. We don’t want our volunteers driving extra in this weather and most of the folks we would spend time with tonight will be hunkered down due to this stuff.

We are so sad to hear of the passing of Josh Alves, one of our founding management team members. Josh was a steady and thoughtful presence as a team leader and first-round Ascension Trust representative trained trainer here in Bangor. He and his family had moved away to follow God's calling, and he stepped down from GBASP at that time, but his presence on the foundation of this organization is still felt.
We pray for his wife, Amy and their children in this time of loss.
May his memory be a blessing.
