Mary Pye has been volunteering as Ashburn House almost since the doors opened on the newly built Home next door to her a decade ago.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Ashburn House made an appeal to our local church for volunteers, and I offered to go along,” she said.<\/p>\n

“We present parts of the Bible and use lots of illustrations and even a little drama.”<\/p>\n

She is part of a group that holds monthly meetings for anyone interested in talking and hearing about the Bible.<\/p>\n

“We try to tailor what we say to whoever attends, and not make it too complicated,” Mary said.<\/p>\n

“We also try to go around and visit between monthly meetings.<\/p>\n

The residents all love the old hymns so they sing songs together and read the Bible.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s something I feel God wanted me to do, and I live right next door so I don\u2019t have much excuse,” Mary said.<\/p>\n

“When I get there and start talking to people I feel a lot better myself, so it’s a two way thing.”<\/p>\n

Mary’s efforts were recognised at Ashburn’s 10th anniversary celebrations in September.<\/p>\n
