Hi All
Here’s what’s happening in the coming week. Check out the extras coming up, as highlighted after this note. This is the last week of the year for many Cafés so do read the information for closures and re-opening dates. We hope some of you will be able to join us for our Christmas service on Tuesday 17th December, and for those who can’t and enjoy singing carols and hearing the Christmas story, maybe check out what’s happening at your local church this Christmas.
If you enjoy Christmas films there is another inclusive cinema showing at Harbour Lights in Southampton, details below.
With our best wishes,
Ros, Katherine, Dave, Jo & All our Memory Café leads
