Gobowen Community Cafe

Gobowen
Community Cafe

Every Thursday in term-time, 2:30-4:00pm, All Saints' Hall
Our popular weekly cafe drop-in will continue through winter. Every week during term time from 2:30-4:00pm on Thursdays for a warm welcome, a cuppa, chat and cake all FREE.

As the cost of living rises this winter, we are partnering with Warm Welcome UK to help anyone needing a warm space. Please spread the word.

Warm Welcome UK is a co-ordinated national community response to the Cost of Living Crisis. Wherever you see this logo, you are guaranteed a warm welcome! We’re working with the Town Council and others to open Warm Welcome spaces across Oswestry and district so look out for the logo around or visit warmwelcome.uk for an online map.

Christianity Explored

We’d love questions and those who ask them. You are very welcome to join us in an informal and relaxed setting to think about some of the bigger questions in life. There will be space to ask any question you may have about the Christian faith: no question is too big or too small!

Over the seven weeks, we will look at a book of the Bible to find out first-hand who Jesus is and why he came. You don’t need to know anything about the Bible, and you won’t be asked to pray or sing!

We regularly run courses like this and our next course is starting at the Vicarage, Old Chirk Road, 7:30pm on Thursday 1st February. But please feel free just to give the first few sessions a try or join us whenever you can.

If you’d like to join us, please contact Steve on allsaintsgobowen@gmail.com
