Community Cafe
Every Thursday we hold a Community Coffee morning between 10 am-12 pm at Prestonkirk Stables in East Linton. Join us for a tea/coffee and a chat. The event is intergenerational and suitable for all.
This event is held in partnership with The Ridge, Dunbar Debt Advice Service, and East Lothian Foodbank. We are also grateful to Hometown for supplying the coffee. Volunteers from these organisations regularly attend to offer advice and support.
Prayer has been part of human activity across time and cultures, but many in our community struggle with the idea of prayer and aren’t sure where to start. The TryPraying booklet is a short guide to prayer written primarily for people who aren’t religious. Copies of the booklet are available from our churches or you can check out the website for more information: www.trypraying.
