Coffee Hour in Grounds for Joy
Join us after worship each Sunday at 10:30am for coffee, lemonade, and treats. Sit with your friends and have a chat or make some new friends!
We are always looking for volunteers to make and serve coffee, which is an excellent way to meet lots of people on Sunday mornings.
