Our Friendship Group meets on Wednesday mornings between 10-11.30am at the Lynton Day Centre in East Linton. At these meetings you get a chance to meet new people, learn new skills and connect with others in our community. There’s tea, coffee and home baking. People with dementia and their carers are particularly welcome.

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.org
