Mary and Isabel's Compassionate Cafe

Tuesdays 11am – 1pm · Parish Centre, Hall Grove

Refreshments, friendly faces, and companionship. A warm welcome awaits everyone.

We are delighted to unveil our newly refreshed and updated children's area, creating a warm and welcoming space for the youngest members of our church family.

Our goal was to create a corner that is safe, engaging, and fun, allowing children to play and feel at home during our services. The area now features a beautiful new wooden bookshelf filled with a wonderful selection of colourful toys and books. From a classic wooden ark and a bright stacking rainbow to engaging stories, there's plenty to capture young imaginations.

With a child-sized table and chairs, it's the perfect spot for little ones to read, draw, or play quietly (or loudly). We hope this bright new corner will be a blessing to all our families, making it easier for everyone to worship together.

We can't wait to see it filled with laughter and play. Please feel free to come and explore the new space
