OPEN-HOUSE International Cafe, Loughborough

28 August, 2012

Hello Friends,
Remember - OPEN-HOUSE does not meet on Sunday afternoons during August We try to organise weekday events for you to enjoy during August, but the next Sunday meeting will be on 2nd September.
Thirty five of us enjoyed a lovely day out at Eastwell Fete last Saturday, and have many happy memories. I have only a couple of vacant places for the day out at Old Dalby Fete next Monday 27th (public holiday), so let me know now if you wish to come with us.
We do welcome the many new students and academics arriving in Loughborough – PLEASE tell them about OPEN-HOUSE International Café. Forward this email to them, or give them our website address - http://openhouselboro2006.blog.fc2.com - we look forward to meeting them.
May you all experience God’s wonderful blessing,
Clive

OPEN HOUSE

‘OPEN-HOUSE’~ International & Multicultural ~Loughborough can be a lonely place for overseas visitors, and 'OPEN-HOUSE', helps promote friendship between people of different cultures, nations, and ages ~ "a place where people from overseas are loved and accepted - where they can make friends in a safe environment". 'OPEN-HOUSE' meets regularly in the ‘Lounge’ at Emmanuel Church which, situated centrally in our town, is easy for people to find. We welcome men and women of all ages, single and married, from all nations and cultures - from 2pm to 4pm on most Sunday afternoons. Serving light refreshments to students, academics and other visitors from overseas (including children), we relax, chat, play board-games, share news and views etc. We also arrange occasional quizzes, outings, meals and local walks. We trust that 'OPEN-HOUSE' will enable better relations between people of different cultures, to the mutual benefit of all.'OPEN-HOUSE' is served by ‘friendship’ volunteers from several local Christian churches who help to welcome newcomers, serve refreshments and generally mix-and-mingle with visitors, extending and encouraging, friendship ~ practising gifts of Christian hospitality! As up to 40+ overseas visitors currently attend we are seeking more committed helpers, because we are in contact with many, many more visitors to our town from overseas.
