OCTOBER DINNER CHURCH ❤️

What a lovely evening we had at October’s Dinner Church!

During the summer months, we’ve enjoyed a lovely variety of salads alongside our meals. But as the colder months arrive, we’re keeping things a little simpler with hot pasties and no salad! This helps keep costs down, makes Dinner Church more sustainable and takes a little pressure off our wonderful kitchen team.

And do you know what? It made no difference to the evening! Because Dinner Church has never really been about what’s on the plate. It’s about friendship, fellowship, community, good conversations and sharing faith together. A hot pasty is simply an added blessing!

Emma also led a great discussion, asking everyone what they love about Dinner Church, how we could make it even better and whether they would feel comfortable inviting someone along. It was wonderful to hear everyone’s thoughts and ideas.

It was also lovely that two of our church family, Kelly and Rowan, chose to spend their birthdays with us at Dinner Church! We hope you both felt very celebrated and that your birthdays were blessed by your Dinner Church family. ❤️

We were delighted to welcome Teresa and Charlie too. Teresa brought along 40 beautifully created light bottles, which were put on display for families to take home. These little lights have now travelled into Horrabridge, Tavistock and even Plymouth! What a lovely thought that something given so generously is now bringing a little sparkle into other people’s homes and shining light into someone’s darkness.

Our children had a wonderful time too! Viv and Cheryl led the children’s activities, exploring why Jesus is the Light of the World and how He brings light into our lives. The children then came downstairs to sing us a song and proudly show everyone their own handmade light bottles. Just lovely!

A huge thank you to everyone who helped, contributed and came along. It’s the people who make Dinner Church what it is.

DATES FOR YOUR DIARY:

📅 Thursday 26 November – Next Dinner Church, 5:30pm.

🎄 December – Christmas Dinner Church, 5:30pm, when we’ll be joined by our Superintendent Minister, Rev Chris Brown. This will also be Ali’s final Dinner Church before stepping away from her community pioneer role this Christmas.

Everyone is welcome. Come as you are, pull up a chair and join us around the table. ❤️

“You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.”

Matthew 5:14 (NKJV)

May we each carry a little of His light wherever we go. ❤️

A VERY SPECIAL THANK YOU! ❤️

We want to say a huge thank you to a parent who recently contacted Ali to offer a financial donation towards Teens Hangout and our work with young people. This is the second financial donation we have received, alongside the very generous gift of a Nintendo.

It is incredibly encouraging when someone sees what we’re doing in the community and feels moved to sow into it. Every donation helps us sustain and grow this space for our young people.

We are truly grateful for this generosity, kindness and support. Thank you!

TEENS HANGOUT – GREAT TO BE BACK! 😊

It was wonderful to be back at Teens Hangout last night after the half-term break, and the children certainly came flooding in!

A big thank you to all the children (and parents and carers!) who remembered their £1 contribution. It really does help towards the cost of hiring the youth club and keeping this space available for our young people. Every pound makes a difference!

Brian once again treated everyone to some lovely homemade food, including mince meat patties, buttery potatoes and homemade chocolate brownies. Thank you, Brian!

It was lovely to see the children getting stuck in, helping to get the room ready, playing table tennis, chatting and catching up. It was particularly great to see some of our older teens coming along, hanging out and making use of the space too.

A special thank you to Emma, who stepped in at short notice, along with her husband John and our brilliant volunteer Brian, while Ali was leading our Grief Group. Emma quickly made herself at home, got chatting to the children (many of whom she already knew!) and was soon joining in with a game of table tennis. We really appreciate everyone who helps make these evenings happen.

A little reminder as the darker evenings draw in…

We want Teens Hangout to be a safe, warm and welcoming place for our young people. If your children come along and you understand them to be at the youth club, we’d really appreciate your support in encouraging them to stay there for the evening rather than heading off to play in the park in the dark.

We still have outdoor space available for games and activities, but we’d love the children to make the most of everything happening inside too!

We’re open Tuesdays, 5–7pm during term time, with plenty of activities, friends to catch up with and hot food to enjoy during the colder months.

It’s seeing the children come through the door, enjoying themselves and making friendships that makes it all worthwhile for our team.

A place to belong, friendships to enjoy and a warm welcome for everyone. See you next Tuesday! ❤️
