Drop In Lunch

Join us for a 2 course home cooked lunch every Thursday. We start with a thought for the day and sing a hymn together. Many of us are retired but all ages are welcome. We charge a small fee of £1 to cover the cost of the meal. The meal is cooked and served by volunteers from our��church . We are very popular and sometimes we have to operate a waiting list because we just can't fit everybody in. Contact us [here.](https://www.stonystratfordcommunitychurch.co.uk/contact)
