Community lunches
It was fantastic to see so many people from the church family and community at the Community Lunch in May at our church. We fed a three course meal to about 50 people on the day and the leftovers went to others in the church family, so ended up feeding around 60 people all told.
Our next planned Community Lunch event is going to be on Wednesday 17th July. This will be a ticketed event as we’ve had quite a bit of interest already from the wider community. So book it in your diaries and keep an eye out for the notices.
