We are a group of Christians from many different backgrounds and walks of life, each with a different story to tell, but united by our experience of God's love. Before we ever gave him a thought, God loved us and sent his Son, Jesus, to be the rescuer. Jesus lived the life we should have lived, died the death we deserved and rose in triumph from the grave - to give life and hope to all who rely upon him.

Haven Memory Cafe offers a warm welcome to people diagnosed with memory problems or dementia, along with a relative, friend or carer. It meets in a comfortable setting in the centre of Thornbury, in the United Reformed Church building.
It provides a welcoming social atmosphere, with tea, coffee and home-made cake, and an opportunity to chat to friends and volunteers. At each session there is a short activity, which is often musical, usually with an invitation to join in, or a demonstration or slide-show. NB The cafe is not a clinic, though there is often a Dementia Support Worker present.
The Memory Cafe usually meets on the first and third Friday mornings of each month, from 10.15am - 11.45am. The entrance is in Chapel Street, and is accessible to mobility scooters. There is car parking around the church, although it is often busy on a Friday morning.

Equality - Simplicity - Sustainability - Stillness - Truth - Peace
Are you tired of a world seemingly divided by media spin, political rifts and sensationalism; a world where our connection with deeper meaning has been lost to the clamour of consumerism? There are many organisations working hard to heal these divisions and to bring about positive change.
One of these groups is Quakers.
Quakers is a faith group working for equality, peace and sustainability. Although its roots are in Christianity, Quakers welcomes seekers from all faiths and none.
We share certain ideas, but recognise that the spiritual journey is different for everyone. We believe there is good in everyone and we try to put our faith into positive action in the world.
Our meetings are held in silence and are an opportunity for reflection, for spiritual exploration and for self discovery. During the pandemic we are meeting weekly on Zoom.
If the above resonates with you, please join us.
For further details contact Sheila Waters by phone or visit www.quaker.org.uk to find out more about Quaker faith and action.
