Our Friendship Group meets on Wednesday mornings between 10-11.30am at the Lynton Day Centre in East Linton.

People with dementia and their carers are particularly welcome.
On Wednesday evenings from 17.30. Suitable for pupils from S1 – S6. Join us for pizza, games, music and chat.
Colourful Connections is a creative art session for people of all artistic abilities (and none) to enhance brain health and emotional well-being – an opportunity to learn new skills, make friends and chat with each other.

Please email admin@parishoftraprain.org.uk for further information.
Community Cafe
Every Thursday we hold a Community Coffee morning between 10am-12pm 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 for the coffee supplied by Hometown. Volunteers from these organisations regularly attend to offer advice and support.
Prayer has been a part of human activity across time and across cultures, but there are also many in our community who struggle with the idea of prayer and are not too 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.
