Breakfast Church - on the theme of Bread

Come along, everyone is welcome!

09.45 Reading Room Sunday 26th October with Revd Suzie

Who doesn't like the smell of bread? Come along to our interactive, fun and engaging Breakfast Church, where in this session we will be making bread whilst thinking about a story Jesus told using bread to help his listeners understand things about God. (Don't worry, there won't just be bread to eat, but our usual yummy selection of breakfast options too.)
