Winter Warmers memories



Many years ago, before I started coming to this church, a minister started Winter Warmers; a soup and pudding meal, followed by a talk, once a fortnight. It was very popular for a while, but after a few years it became difficult to find speakers who would attract a wide range of speakers, so we stopped having the meals. However, in 2015 we restarted Winter Warmers in a different format: a once a month meal, with a more substantial main course (jacket potatoes, casserole and the like) followed by a craft activity, as we built on the most popular activity of the old Winter Warmers, Brenda's floral art. We got around 12 - 15 attending most sessions, and we had a lot of fun. Activities have included making floral decorations, decorating tote bags and designing Christmas cards.

Below are some examples of craft activities
