More Food for Thought………

At the risk of being a month out of date I just want to say what a great time we all had at Food For Thoughts One Year Celebration at the end of January.

With 70 people or so, we’re still seeing new faces each time and everyone is really welcome. With the two Alans helping us out (Alan Dodds, retired vicar and original member of David Bowies band or as Alan said, ‘Actually he joined mine!’-(I think that was some serious time ago, well before the Spiders from Mars) and Alan Jeans, Archdeacon, and incidentally, always wears jeans (I wonder which came first, the jeans or the name) – we had a really special time..

We had a wild ten minutes of hat making with some really inventive creations (Nils got promoted to the Archbishop complete with mitre and others sported everything from the Titanic on their heads to chimneys on fire.)

But it was fun – and actually as the photos from the past year flipped over on the screen- it was special - To see just how much we had shared together in a few short meetings, to see the smiles on peoples faces.

Alan encouraged us to live thankful lives and for those of us who have seen so many come along each 4^th Sunday of the month, that’s just what we do. Perhaps it might be right for you. We’re meeting again on 30^th March, everyone welcome - single, families, old, young,- no pressure, just a place prepared, if you want it, see you there.

PS – Alpha is coming – we’ll give more details out soon but the summer term will see a new Alpha course for Winterslow – a chance to get together, eat, discuss the big questions and the not so big. A chance to see what makes this course, started in the City’s financial district and now spread world wide so special. Watch this space!
