OPEN-HOUSE International Cafe, Loughborough: WALKed.

20 March, 2009

WALKed.

Hi Friends,

We all enjoyed a wonderful day out last Saturday, visiting the little town of Melbourne and its 1,000 year old church, eating our picnics by the lakeside, then refreshments at Calke Abbey – and seeing the beginning of Spring in the countryside – yes, we really did walk nearly 8 miles in the sunshine! Do e-mail me your photos for the ‘OPEN-HOUSE’ album (clive.hilton@googlemail.com). I have relayed your thanks to Simon, Roger and the other ‘Parish Pilgrims’ who led us. Where next, I hear you ask!

Next Sunday, 22nd March, ‘OPEN-HOUSE’ will meet as usual in the Emmanuel Church ‘Centre’ from 2.00pm until 4.00pm (14.00 - 16.00).

May you all know God’s 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.
