Report written by STEFANIA ROSSO (she/her)
After the parkrun in Preston Park, three wonder-"ING" women speeded up their way to St Paul Prestonwille Church for a weekend mission. To avoid the main roads, Nancy and I, Stefania, explored a shortcut through Lover’s walk to find ourselves hiking-a-bike up some steps – Wonder-FULL discovery and FUN!
There, we joined Rev. Martin, Sally and other lovely church wanders and volunteers to get busy in screening and sorting a fair amount of stuff that has been accumulated in years, since pre-pandemic. Much we saved for the toddlers entertaining sessions and other church events, more we diverted for reuse and recycling and …. more is yet to go or to do, ready for another future visit!
Nice to see you back Abi to enjoy the spring tasks in the church outdoor garden that is now ready to grow vegetables and become a complementary food supply for the Real Junk Food Project, cooking and serving the local community twice a week at this premise.
Like many churches in Brighton St Luke's provides so much more than a place of worship. They host the fantastic Real Junk Food Cafe, a parent/toddler group, an orchestra for people recovering from substance and alcohol misuse and an LGBTQ+ choir.
