The first Community Café of the year will be in Church this coming Saturday 18th January 2025 from 10.30am-noon hosted by Katie, Samson and Pam, with Tony and Penny W coming to set the church up again. Thanks for responding to my request for helpers – now we just need a couple more cakes please! Needing to catch up with family, friends, a neighbour, fellow churchgoer you haven’t seen this new year? Why not invite someone and use the space to connect with others over a free cuppa and a nice slice of cake. Or just come solo – your co-hosts would be delighted to have you join us and have the opportunity to chat!

If you haven’t helped with Community Café before but are interested to know more about the three roles (Bakers, Co-Hosts, Set Back Uppers) then please read the job descriptions via Katie’s Community Café new team form (accessed via this link) or contact Katie. I’d love to be able to have an initial 2025 plan in place!

Other 2025 dates for your diaries: none in February as half term, 15 March, none in April as Easter weekend, 17 May, 21 June, none as usual in July and August as summer, 20 September, 18 October, 15 November (will hopefully coincide with the Tearfund Quiz 2025), and not in December as a busy month.
