Many thanks to Ted and Richard for painting the front steps.  Along with Jan’s baskets of flowers, we are looking very smart now at Keelby.

While the “Open for Coffee” team are taking a well earned rest, we are running “August Wednesdays” in the Cafe at Keelby Methodist Church. We will be open 10 to 12, serving filter coffee and a traybake. If anyone would like to join us and help during August, you will be more than welcome. Please email Louise Spavin at louspavin@hotmail.co.uk stating the date you are available to help. Thank you

We’ve added some pictures of last weeks church family weekend together.  You’ll find them in the Gallery (bottom left of this page). I hope they give you all a flavour of what a great time we all had.  Thank you to all those who worked so hard to make the weekend such a success.

The next Charity Saturday (4th July) there will be continental breakfast, stalls and raffle in the Edge. Help and raffle prizes would be appreciated.  All in aid of the hospice.

We have been looking at ways in which we might have a church holiday together. The costs of those we looked at probably excluded some people, so we decided to look at a “Staycation”. Bet you never thought to holiday in Stallingborough!

Camping: We are offering space to camp for the weekend on the edge of the Christmas Trees, its actually quite pretty. Those who aren’t into camping can join in any of the events and sleep in their own beds.  We are beginning on Friday evening, but if you can’t make a Friday you can still pitch your tent/caravan for the Saturday only. The date is Friday 10th July to Sunday 12th noon.

Programme: Friday – 6.30pm onwards pitch tents, 8.00pm Campfire singalong, bring your marshmallows etc. Saturday – am – Walk to Healing for Fish and Chips,  pm – Acivities, Evening – Ceilidh (tickets £3/kids free), BBQ/picnic.  Sunday – Service in the barn led by Nikki.  More details will be available by email or phone.

If you aren’t able to join in anything like the walk to Healing, please feel free to drive there and join the rest. Or if you don’t fancy the activities, sit in a nice garden chair and watch them.  Dip into one part of the weekend or many, the choice is yours. The weekends aim is to get to spend some time together, to chill out and enjoy each others company.  There will be minimal costs to the weekend ie Fish & Chips and the Celidh, and obviously we will need numbers for those events.  So if you are interested, please drop Carol an email or ring her on 01472 885911 and book your camping pitch, Fish and Chips, Ceilidh tickets, asap.

Come and join the friendship club, which meets up every First Monday of the Month at Keelby Methodist Church from 2.00 to 4.00pm. The cost will be £2.50 per session which includes refreshment.

This month we will meet on Monday 6th July 2015, Lincs and Notts Air Ambulance – Trevor Cherry.  Trevor presents a talk about the valuable work carried out by this service.
