Just a short update about our Community Cafe in Martyr Worthy.  We enjoyed our final one before Christmas on the 19th November.  Despite it being a cold, drizzly day we had a good supportive turn out and much jolliness was had by all!  We wanted to let you know that we are now taking a break for Christmas to give all our volunteers a breather and also to keep everyone safe as the numbers of Coronavirus cases increase around the place.  We will let you know when we begin again in the new year when the weather and the situation improves.  Thank you to all those who have found the cafe already (a ‘secret’ gem for all parishioners and dog walkers!) for your welcome custom and we hope more of you will have an opportunity to find us in 2022.

For you information you will be able check if the cafe is open (usually a Friday) in any given week by clicking on the Parish Diary on the church website:  itchenvalleychurches.org.

So until next year we wish you all a calm and reflective time getting ready in Advent and a very Happy Christmas when it comes!
