ABBY'S STORY

told by Abby Lobert (recorded by John Butler Films)

“We saw how strong the fabric of Hamilton is.... So many churches and people and organizations working for the good of this city. We saw that we are really reaping the fruit of plants and seeds that were planted long ago.”

Abby Lobert came to Act Five in 2020 and is now their Enrolment Advisor. Abby has come to love the Blakely neighbourhood in Hamilton and the people that are connected to Act Five. She has seen God on the move in these places and people and is expectant for what is coming next.

Every story matters.

In different conversations that we have had, we have heard about some beautiful things that God is doing through His Church in this city. We know that hearing these stories can have a powerful impact on those who come across them, but it is too easy for these stories to be missed…

THat IS WHY WE ARE LAUNCHING THE TRUECITY STORYTELLING INITIATIVE.

We are on the lookout for stories of things that God has been up to in each of our congregations. We want to find these stories and feature them so that we can share them with others.

Our hope is that this project will be an encouragement and blessing as people hear about the different ways that God is at work in Hamilton. We know that it’s too easy for us to just rush on by and not take notice of the things that God is up to right where we live, so our hope is that this project will cause all of us to STOP and PAUSE long enough to TAKE NOTICE OF THE DIFFERENT THINGS THAT GOD IS DOING IN OUR MIDST, as well as be OPEN to CONSIDER what God might be INVITING us into, as well.
