January BBQ 

Every January Wednesday evenings we supply a BBQ for the shut-ins or those living with needs.  We also open a Food Bank after the BBQ. 

 

We have a Chinwag session at Rapture Café, from 10:00am to 11:30am. This now to be held on the first and third Tuesday of each month.

Note this month (November) the Chinwag Dates are Tuesdays 5th and 19th.  December dates are 3rd and 17th.  If you are not sure, feel free to email us at ftg.uca@gmail.com

Chinwag is an opportunity for friends of FtG UCA to talk. Anyone is welcome to say anything about any subject without judgment. Thus we are free to explore the broad and deep issues about life.

Underneath My Umbrella – a Women’s support programme held at FTG UCA Hall on first Wednesday of each month starting at 9:30am.

Come along and see how this can assist YOU!  Next session is 6th November, then 4th December. No meetings during school holidays (eg 1st October.)
