Ladies’ Continental Breakfast

On the third Saturday of the month the ladies meet in the Parish Centre from 9 to 10.30 am.

We enjoy a delicious breakfast of croissants and home-made bakes followed by a stimulating speaker. The range of topics covered has been diverse: from reconciliation and the Lance Armstrong doping scandal to Women in the Early Church.

The Breakfast was launched over six years ago to be a time and place where women of all ages could relax, socialise, connect and discuss a range of issues. I have been there from the beginning and at a recent meeting it was truly pleasing to see a crowded room with much laughter. We also support local causes. Recent donations have been made to the choir and to the Trafford South Food Bank.

Topics coming up include: Christian meditation; “Love in Action” in Salford; the history of Altrincham churches; cello music; the Booth Centre; the radical Manchester mayor who built the Town Hall; and the work of a local charity in South Africa.

So why not come along? You will be made very welcome.
