A glorious morning at St Matthew's church for this weekend's Community Mission. As Natalie arrived, the volunteers were already hard at work getting the garden tidy. Jacquie, who supports the church, welcomed warmly and introduced us to everyone. Clara was next to arrive and it was great to meet her. Thanks for the quick Portugese lesson, Clara! Lovely to see Bruce and Imogen too, fresh from Park Run! And you think that's a productive morning, they've also been busy learning to scuba dive since we last caught up!

Cake, biscuits and sausage rolls awaited the volunteers as the churchyard looked much neater. Thanks to St Margaret's church for such hospitality : and organising such great weather :)
