Souper Friday Electronic Marketplace

At Souper Friday we often come across families who are struggling, not only with buying their everyday essentials but also with affording household furniture, furnishings and appliances. In response to the need, we are launching our Electronic Marketplace!

If you have any household items that you no longer need and would like to donate to a deserving family then please let us know and we will advertise them each Friday on our electronic notice board. All we ask is that you provide us with a photo of the item that we can upload onto the notice board. Due to a lack of storage space we are unable to hold any items at church. Please speak to Colin or Brenda for more information.

Of course, we don’t expect you only to dispose of the items through Souper Friday so quite understand if you find another home for it while we have it on our system. All we ask is you let us know and then we can remove it from the notice board.

Tech Q&A Drop-In Morning: Saturday 13th April 10am-12:30pm

We’re having a drop-in Q&A morning so if you are

A member of a tech rota with questions about how things work;
Thinking about joining a tech rota but want to know more first;
Would like to know some basic knowledge like how to switch on….
Then please pop in on this day and we’ll be there to help and inform you.

Spring Clean – loft clear out!

On Saturday 6th April from 9am, the Facilitation Team is planning a clear and sort out of the loft above the “overflow hall”. There are a number of items that need organising or to be permanently removed! We would like to enlist some volunteers for an hour or two to move the various items out of the loft and help sort/organise/ditch. If you can help please let Hollie Gale or Jonny Street know. There are rumours that some breakfast-y treats may be available!

Also, if you think you have any items in the loft that you need (or don’t) it would be really helpful if you could come along that morning to help – or if not available please have a chat with Hollie or Jonny in advance. Many thanks.
