Friendship, fun, food and faith filled the church building as more than 100 guests and team gathered over two amazing days of Summer Connect. Offering more than 20 activities across the days, there was something for everyone. Some stretched muscles in the chair based exercise or indoor games whilst others stretched voices in a vibrant singalong. Great minds pooled together deciphering clues and conquering quizzes, whilst others enjoyed a pampering hand massage, made flower arrangements, tried their hand at bell ringing, watched their old cineslides come to life in a new format, and so much more.

Great conversations were had over a lovely home cooked lunch. This was followed by some very interesting input from our own Sue Clegg as well as valuable sessions about Scam Awareness and Age-related Macular Degeneration. All rounded off with an encouraging ‘thought for the day’ lead by Jon and Jo.

Many comments, emails and cards of appreciation reflected how much it had been enjoyed . ‘Thank you for two lovely Thursdays of Summer Connections. It so lifts the spirit to be with people and I am always meeting new people’

‘I was able to bring home a nice spray in an oasis for my birthday’, ‘the lunch was splendid!’ ‘It was a joy to be on the team, it was so rewarding. There was a real sense of community, welcome and enjoyment’
