Free Exchange Cafe is back

The popular Free Exchange Café is open for another season with first being on Sunday, the 7th of April from 10.30 to 12 noon, in the Church at Whitchurch Canonicorum.

Enjoy freshly-brewed coffee, tea, croissants and pastries straight from the oven. Catch up with friends and neighbours, or browse the Sunday papers. Come for ten minutes or stay for an hour. 

Ros will be hosting the Children's Corner 

The Free Exchange Table is open, too. Bring something you no longer need, take something away if you like it or both or neither - whichever you choose, no money changes hands. Plants and Produce are always welcome. 

There's no charge for the Cafe (but feel free to leave a donation).

Short and Sweet service 31st of March

On Sunday 31st March the Rev Ginny Lucket and Ros will be celebrating Mothering Sunday at 11.00 a.m. at Whitchurch Canoniocorum Church.

We will be sharing pur special thoughts and memories of our Mums, making posies of flowers and also making paper flowers designed by Clare Colby. (Remember the fabulous angels we made at Christma).  So another fun service for everyone.

As we usually do please bring a photo or something special which reminds you of your Mum.  But this year we especially ask if you could bring a donation for Cupboard Love (the Bridport Food Bank charity) which will help Mums and Dads who are finding it difficult to fed their families.

If anyone is able to give me flowers suitable for posies please let me (Ros) know (01297 489055)
