Wednesday Coffee Break

Held every week in the Symonds Hall of the Village Hall from 10 am until 12, this is an opportunity to meet old friends and make new ones over a cup of coffee (or tea or hot chocolate!) and a chat. Although not a fundraising event, the church sends any ‘profit’ made to St Peter & St James Hospice.

Bereavement lunches

Bring and Share lunches are organised for two groups about three or four times a year for all those who have lost a loved one, but especially for those who are now living alone. To have a friendly occasion to share a meal with others can be a real support and encouragement. The lunches are held in St Mary’s Church Room and there is no charge, but once a year we organise a lunch out for those who wish to come along and this costs about £11.
