A return to blogging

It is six months since we walked between all the 15 churches in our team and lots has been going on. Following some diocesan training on communicating I decided to resurrect the blog whilst we wait for our new website to be set up. So here we are, back online.

Since we've been away we've set up a new community initiative, "Walk in Wednesday" which takes place every Wednesday between 9am and 4pm at St Mary's Beaminster.  We open up the church, have tea, coffee and homemade cake, soup lunch and provide space where you are welcome to pop in to meet friends or to spend some time chatting with new people. There is a popular knitting group where you can learn to knit, bring along your own projects or join in with our "Hug a Baby" charity knitting. We also have an art table, a paperback book exchange, daily papers and a children's corner filled with toys and books.

We wanted the beautiful church building to be used by anyone, not just those coming to worship.  We also wanted a space and time where all could come and expect a good welcome, have something to eat and get to know new people.  Do come down any Wednesday, we would love to see you.
