All are in the main worship area on Cleadon Lane, SR6 7UU. Saints Alive!!! Come, see and taste that God is Good!. This was the theme for October at OASIS our 4pm Café Church. Plaits, spirals, bread rolls and even a harvest mouse were some of the creations made using bread dough. We were encouraged to take it home to bake and as it did so to thank God for all the good things he provides us with (food, clean water, homes etc) as we enjoyed the aroma. Once the bread was cooked we were encouraged to ask God to provide for those without as we savoured the taste. Laminated placemats were also created with Thank you God for our food in the middle of the plates. Both children and adults enjoyed creating them! Whilst enjoying delicious cake washed down with tea and coffee we were able to ponder how we could help those in need through donating to Hospitality and Hope’s Food bank being reminded that All Saints were collecting tins, jars and packets along with basic toiletries as their harvest response.
Why not join us for OASIS on November 1st at 4pm. The theme will be ‘Saints Alive’…bring a torch for our Saint hunt in the dark!! Along, with the opportunity to investigate faith and enjoy fellowship in a relaxed manner over cake and a cuppa.
