The Cedar Tree
The Cedar Tree is Christ Church's weekly community cafe, which is open every Friday from 11.00am to 1.30pm. It was established in November 2006 and has a growing and appreciative group of customers. They seem to like the atmosphere, the music and the newspapers, and our menu is proving popular - our beans on toast is becoming something of a house speciality! If you would like to be involved, there are a number of different ways you can help.
1. Volunteer
You certainly don't have to help every week - or even every month. Signing up for one session once in a while would be fine. If you feel that you'd like to join the team of volunteers, ask Nicky Gladstone for a rota.
2. Make a cake
This works on a rota system, just as with the cafe volunteers. If you could make a cake (any kind, fruit loaf, coffee & walnut, anything you like) then please get a rota from Nicky Gladstone.
3. Make a small monthly donation
The running costs of The Cedar Tree are not high, but in order to keep going and keep our prices so low, we need a regular income, and this can easily be achieved with small monthly pledges of just a few pounds. If you can help in this way, please ask David Marles for a standing order form.
4. Distribute leaflets
We have produced a leaflet which shows our menu in full, and it would be great if we could distribute this in the local area.
5. Pray
This is something that we can all do in order to support the project. God is calling us to make a difference in our local community, and it is only with his help that we will succeed. Thank you so much to everyone for all of your help and support.
