Tea - L - C, the weekly coffee morning, is held every Thursday morning from 9.30 am to 11.00 am throughout the year. It is open to everyone and is a drop-in meeting, so that people are free to come and go as they please.
The aim of the meeting is to provide a warm welcome for all those who come, whether they are newcomers to the church or regulars of many years standing. There is a short gospel message every week, and members who come use the opportunity to talk about Christian things and explain the gospel as the opportunity arises. Many people today have no experience of church and are nervous about what will be expected of them, so the meeting is a good place to find out what the building looks like and to meet some of the members.
Most of those who come to the meeting are regulars, although a board outside sometimes attracts new people and school holidays usually bring in some children. Occasionally we provide a fish and chip lunch, preceded by a longer gospel message, and this is much appreciated.
The meeting is free, with no charge being made for refreshments.
