Coffee Pot A warm welcome awaits you at… ‘Coffee Pot’ In 1990, following some thoughts on providing a focal point for people to meet in Scotby village, the Thursday Coffee Pot was established in the Parish Centre. From 10 am to noon, each Thursday, there is a welcome to anyone who wishes to call in for 
coffee, tea, a chat or just simply to meet friends. There is no charge for the coffee but donations received during early 2011 were sent to help one of the youngsters from the church and community attend the international transplant games in Sweden in June. The Donations now being collected will go to The Grace Little Centre at Kingmoor which is to be run by Carlisle Mencap to provide respite care for disabled youngsters. A photocopying and laminating service is also available at the Parish Centre at a nominal charge. Whether you have only a couple of minutes or a couple of hours or need a document photocopying please do call at the Parish Centre on Scotby Green any Thursday morning and enjoy hospitality and fellowship with us. Don Doreen Sue and Valerie.
What is the purpose of the Mid-week Fellowship Groups?
1. Nurture: We come together to share our understanding of the Bible and to help each other apply it to our lives.
2.
Prayer: We pray regularly for the needs of individuals and for our
churches; and use what we learn together to help us in our journey of
faith.
3. Friendship: We value the support of other
Christians and the Mid-week Groups provide a warm and informal
environment for new friendships.
4. Service: We try to
encourage each other to share our faith with others at work, home,
leisure, and in our neighbourhood. We support all who are engaged in
Christian work in the parish.
A number of Fellowship Groups meet in
various
homes around the parish on a weekly or fortnightly basis – please see
‘Services/Diary’
for more details.

specifically for the local schools. We also spend time praying for all
childrens activities within the life of the church, the village and the

meetings or other special events at the school. Sue goes into school on a
regular basis to talk to the teachers and the head to ask if there are
any particular areas they would like us to pray for. We usually meet
every 8 weeks on a Monday evenin g at 8pm at the home
