CAFÉ CHURCH COMES TO WILLITON
St Peter’s church Williton has recently started a new fresh expressions - Café Church.
Café church is a less formal, relaxed church atmosphere, where people come together to take part in activities, to learn about Jesus, to talk and to sing. There is also always lots of food and good conversation. We have a different theme each month. Our first two gatherings focused on community and relationship. We hope to invite the parents and children of our church pre-school Little Saints and our monthly Campfire church.
As Revd Mark says ‘we wanted to put on a gathering where those new to church, those seeking something a bit different and also our regular congregation could meet and worship together in a relaxed space, with hospitality and a chance to chat. We were not sure who would come, but as it turned out we were running out of chairs! We have had two café churches so far and it has proved to be the most well-attended service in the month. It is so great to see people from different parts of the community coming together.’

A MESSAGE FROM CHRIS COPP
HEART FOR INDIA:
Thank you for the service yesterday and the opportunity to speak about Heart For India again.
I thought it was a lovely service and everybody was very interested and friendly.
Indeed thank you for the whole year, for proposing HFI in the first place, for helping us get the boxes etc produced and for encouraging cream teas and curry evenings and church visits.
The finance will enable not one, but three bore wells to be built. Deva will be thrilled and encouraged.
Above all we are grateful for the prayer which makes such a difference in releasing God's power for good against evil.
Very best wishes, Chris
Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance, that is Coast to Coast from Watchet to West Bay.
On average an air ambulance can reach someone in urgent need within 15 minutes. Any one of us can become a patient at any time. Air ambulance charities are collectively dispatched to over 100 lifesaving missions each day across the country, each mission is funded almost entirely by the generosity of local communities.
Steve says “I am really excited about this next Charity Cycle Ride. Not only will I be doing what I enjoy most, but I will be helping those in most need of medical attention, thus saving lives.CAFÉ CHURCH COMES TO WILLITON
