Time Out Party

Yesterday evening, Time Out, the fortnightly Wednesday morning arts and crafts group from Hilton Church held their Christmas/New Year's party at the Light House. It was a lovely evening with relaxed conversation over a superbly home cooked sit-down meal for about 35 folk! Many thanks to those who helped out in the kitchen!
Here are some moments captured on camera...

Happy New Year...

... although it's almost February!! It's been very busy here since we re-opened the centre after the Christmas break on 6 January.
Last Sunday we hosted a baptismal party for baby Erica, some photos below:

Then today the Kirk Session from Crown Church hosted their annual conference in the cafe area.

They are planning on opening a cafe of their own click here for more details and so welcomed Duncan, Iain and myself to share some of the journey of the Light House by way of a presentation. The Light House staff and volunteers also provided a soup and sandwich lunch our first lunch and for such a large number of people...

One of the main tasks at the Light House since we re-opened in January is to recruit more volunteers to help out in the cafe and we are about to recruit our second member of staff as cafe manager to oversee the daily running of the cafe allowing us to move forward to develop the centre on a wider scale... extending the opening hours and the cafe menu, booking of the rooms, arranging ice breaker events to encourage folk to come to the light house, promotion etc. etc.

Keep watching for more news..

Blessings!
