Community Cafe
Every Thursday we hold a Community Cafe between 10am-12pm at Prestonkirk Stables in East Linton. Join us for a tea/coffee and a chat.
This is a partnership between the Church, The Ridge, Dunbar Debt Advice Service and East Lothian Foodbank. We are also grateful for the coffee supplied by Hometown. Support and advice is freely available and includes: Benefit support, Foodbank, Befriending, Budgeting and Housing Support, Recovery support and access to volunteering and wellbeing services.
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.
