🍽️ Community Christmas Brunch
Monday 22nd December 2025 at 11:00 AM
A meaningful opportunity to bless those in our community who are in need or facing hardship. Share the heart of Christmas through welcome, conversation, and care. We’re looking for volunteers to help serve at the event. 📩 If you’re available, please contact us.

🙏 Prayer Room & Reflection

As Christmas approaches, we invite you to pause amidst the busyness and spend time at the prayer stations set up in the prayer room. These stations are designed to help you reflect on meaningful words and draw closer in prayer and contemplation. The prayer room is available to book for personal reflection or for small groups. Mentors may also find this a meaningful opportunity to pray alongside their mentees. We kindly ask that the room be left as you find it, ready for the next person to use.
📩 To reserve a time, please contact The Village Centre.

🥫 Christmas at The Food Bank
This Christmas, we have the chance to remind our community that no one should face the season hungry. The EK Community Food Bank’s Christmas Hamper Appeal is now underway! With your help, we can bring warmth, dignity, and joy to families who are struggling. A small donation can become a festive meal, a treat for a child, or a moment of hope for someone who needs it most/

📦 Reverse Advent Calendar

Or are you starting to think about which advent calendar you will enjoy this year? Would you consider putting together a Reverse Advent Calendar throughout December to help your community? Instead of receiving, each day you add an item to a box - food, toiletries, or small gifts. At the end of December, the collection can be donated to support families in need. A simple, practical way to share the true spirit of Christmas.
