The folks at
Wilsden Trinity would like to thank all the people of Wilsden (and beyond) who
supported our Summer Charity Coffee Evenings.
The Summer
Coffee Evenings are a tradition brought to us by our friends from Harecroft
Methodist Church who joined us a couple of years ago when their building sadly
had to close due to structural problems. They held these events for many years,
despite being a small church with very few and mostly elderly members. A
shining example of what can be achieved with determination and commitment.
The Coffee
Evenings are held on the second Monday evening of each month from May through
to September and, besides being really pleasant social occasions, have raised
an average of around £200 - £300 for each of the chosen charities, which this
year have been:
The Lord
Mayors Charity,
Manorlands,
The Alzheimer’s
Society and
The Multiple
Sclerosis Society.
Unusually,
the August one was for the Church Building Fund, as we are raising money to pay
for the extensive work carried out to our premises).
They have
been hard work but very enjoyable and worthwhile. We hope to repeat them next
summer for different charities and are confident that we can rely on your
continued support.
If you have
not already been to one of our coffee evenings then make a note for next
summer. You will be made very welcome. It doesn’t often snow in summer - even
in Wilsden - and we are not as far away and isolated as you may think. Also, we
are blessed with stunning scenery so you may enjoy a pleasant summer evening
drive over here. Your reward will be home-made scones, a bottomless coffee pot,
a warm welcome and a chance to catch up with friends and perhaps make new ones.
--> Di H, Wilsden Trinity
