Redwood Park which is owned and
operated as a not-for-profit by the Soul
Food Chrisan Community Inc.
The café is all about shining God’s light in
the local community and showing them
the love of Jesus in a welcoming, familyfriendly community space. There are
many people who would never set foot
inside a tradional church building, and

believers can come along to see what
they do and meet some of the team.

CAN YOU HELP? SIGN UP NOW!
It is not long unl 27 November, and many of our Church
Families have been/are busy making things for the craA,
Produce, Garden and Cake Stalls. However, if you have not
been able to make things there is an opportunity to help, by
donang money so that cakes and biscuits can be made.
Valerie Healey is going to make some small Christmas
cakes, assemble gingerbread houses, bake biscuits etc. She is approaching a
small group of helpers to do the cooking, but they will need ingredients. To
enable all items to be of equal quality and standard, a donaon of money
would be most gratefully received.
During the fesval quite a large number of
volunteers will be required. If you have not been
approached, and have an hour or three that you could
help, please see Mostyn.
Thank you. Helen Sheppard, commiKee member
