The first of many, MBC’s foyer takes on a bright new look

What nicer welcome to any church than to step into a freshly decorated and imaginitively redesigned reception area. And that’s precisely what visitors to MBC are doing each and every time they walk through our main doors. 

Starting with the foyer, the office corridor and the Corner Room a small but incredibibly efficient team of designers and decorators are methodically working their way through our building.

Ahead of them lie all sorts of projects including the possibility of installing new windows into what many of us still think of as the Church Hall – now the creche room and carrying out a thorough examination of the whole building’s insulation. 

On this occasion, however, special thanks go to Liz Knight who masterminded the painting of the foyer (and the assembly of the furniture) and to one of our two new deacons Rod Russell. They of course were ably assisted by a team of willing volunteers.

If you would like to join this team just have a word with Rod, Shelley, Lesley or any of our deacons and we’ll put your name on our list.  

 

Lunch Club embraces World Book Day 2023

World Book Day is a charity sponsored by National Book Tokens which when our Lunch Club leader Rachel Beedle first heard about quickly realised it was far too good an opportunity to pass by. 

That’s why this last week, dressed as characters from their favourite novels more than fifteen LC regulars appeared ever so thinly disguised as just about anyone and anything from Long John Silver to James Bond.

Besides enjoying their normal splendid lunch our guests also tested their powers of recall with a brilliant book/author quiz and then spent a quarter of an hour or so swopping and sharing memories of books they had brought from their homes.  

As luck would have it this week was also the first anniversary of Rachel taking over the Lunch Club supervisory role which of course gave everyone a chance to sing Happy Birthday but only this time with with 007 Hornby at the piano the word Birthday was replaced by the word Anniversary.
