Our lunch club is three years old today - not to the date but to the relevant Wednesday of the month.  At our first lunch we had 24 folk and went to a pub, subsidised the meal from church funds and took a lot of flack from some church members.  Today we had 69 people in a garden centre restaurant, a subsidy from social services for meals and transport, shared news of a forthcoming organ recital and opened bookings for our Christmas Dinner.

We've come a long way in three years. Around a hundred people have been to our lunches, we've been to the seaside, to garden centres, to craft centres and to places of culture.  We have even managed to get most members to at least one church service along the way (bribing with food works wonders!).

God has been good to us, and we are pleased to continue reaching out in love and friendship to people who are lonely or isolated.
