News and Events
Staffing
We were sad to say goodbye to Layla Jackman at the beginning of February. Layla has been with us 4 years and having started working just Saturdays, we have been very grateful for her taking on almost full-time hours in the last 6 months and seeing her grow in confidence and skill. She will be greatly missed and we wish her well in her new role with Thames Valley Police.
We are excited that our new Kitchen manger joins us on 26th February, I am sure she will receive a warm welcome from all our staff, volunteers and customers.
We are still looking for an additional part time cook and will be advertising shortly.
Volunteers
We are still in need of more people to help on the counter and the dishwasher, particularly on Saturdays – if that is something you could help with, we’d love to hear from you.
It would be good to have some young people take on this role and in the past, we have had youngsters doing their DofE awards join us so again if you know anyone who might be interested in this then do let them know.
Free Breakfasts
We provided free breakfasts again during half term. Many people have already generously donated to support this initiative and volunteers have signed up to extra shifts, so thank you for all your support, I know the people who benefit are always very thankful.
In the Bookshop
Lent
We have a number of Lent study books on the shelves or if there is a specific book you want which we don’t have in stock we can order it for you.
Mothering Sunday – 10th March & Easter Sunday - 31st March
Here are some important dates for your diary, we have appropriate cards for these and many other occasions in the shop, many at very reasonable prices. Do come and browse.
Monthly Hot Meal Special
We serve a special hot meal on the last Wednesday of the month at 12.30pm. We do not plan the menu very far ahead, so do ask us nearer the time if you are interested and do book in advance so that we know how
many to cater for. The next dates are: 28th February, 27th March, 24th April.
Make and Bake for Under 5s
Since we restarted in January there has been a good group of regulars coming but there is space for more, so do pass on the details to anyone you know with a small child; it’s 9.30am every Tuesday in term time and just £2 still.
Prayer Breakfasts
Our monthly prayer breakfasts continue, on the second Saturday of each month. The next ones will be on 9th March at 8.30am. I look forward to you joining us for croissants, tea, coffee, prayer and fellowship.
