What is Cafe Church?

 

This is a more informal style of worship where the church hall is laid out with tables and chairs like a cafe and we serve coffee and croissants as people arrive.

Church Picnic on July 4th. 2010

 

Stewkley picnic 1

 

 

We are very fortunate to have a farmer amongst our members who very generously allowed us to pinic in his fields after the Morning Service.

 

The day dawned bright but breezy with just enough cloud to prevent too much exposure to the hot sun.

Stewkley Picnic 2

 

Advantage was taken of the shelter of a hedge to keep the gusty breeze at bay whilst we ate our lunch.

 

It was good to be able to sit and enjoy the fellowship together in such pleasant surroundings.

 

Stewkley Picnic 3
