Refresh Community Café

30/09/2026

Great to see SO many of you this week — we loved having you with us. Here are some of the beautiful flowers you made, reminding us that we can talk to God whenever we feel worried.
Jesus tells us: Don’t worry about food or clothes. Look at the flowers — God makes them so pretty. And He cares for you even more.
A quick reminder that Reloved Sale is happening this Friday (7.30–9pm) and Saturday (10–11.30am). Have a brilliant week — looking forward to seeing you again soon.

Lost property!
We found this brolly while tidying up and have kept it safe for you in the Refresh cupboard.

It's been lovely welcoming so many families back after the summer break. Over the last few weeks, we've been exploring different emotions together and learning that we can talk to God about all our feelings.

Come and join us tomorrow for refreshments, play, chatting, songs and a story. We can't wait to see you at 10am!
