Open House

Our Open House each Wednesday 10-12noon is still proving to be the popular Community place to come to for ‘refreshment’ of life’s troubles and cares. A welcoming and joyful time to share your thoughts, hobbies, holiday experiences and birthdays celebrated, if you wish, in style, with lush cakes and some jolly singing of course

TWINKLES

We had our first Charity Morning of this new school year on 14th November in aid of Children in Need. It was only the second week after the October Half Term, so our numbers were slightly down due to differing half term dates, but all there enjoyed the cakes and nearly everyone had a raffle prize. In total including a contribution of £46 from Open House, we were able to raise £135 for this charity. It always surprises me that our adults are so generous and huge thanks to all who helped, donated and attended. We welcomed new children in September with many of our older ones having gone on to school or nursery. Yet in the past week we have been able to welcome another set of new children and their mothers, aunts, grandmothers and carers. Each year God surprises us with more new children than we expect. The next ‘special’ morning will be on Thursday, 12th December, when we will finish our term by going into the Church for our Christmas service, which will be followed by a small party for the children, with a gift to take home. The adults will be offered mulled wine and mince pies, as well as our normal refreshments. This gives us an opportunity to connect the group with the church, enabling them to see that we all believe in Jesus and try to share His love with all. Please remember our group in your prayers. The helpers do not always hear the problems facing the adults but we try to encourage people to share them with us or with other people in the group with the same problems of rearing young children
