Connections Café
One way in which our churches are building back better after the upheaval of the past couple of years is by developing our ministry among adults in their 20s, 30s and 40s.
Joanna Davies has been appointed as our new Connections Minister as part of the Diocese of York’s Multiply project. Jo grew up in these villages, was a chorister at St Mary’s, Boston Spa in her youth, got married there, and her children attend Lady Elizabeth Hastings in Thorp Arch. As Connections Minister, Jo will develop the way our churches serve other parents of local children, and young professionals without children. This builds on our churches’ existing work with parents of babies and toddlers via The Ark (run for the last 17 years by the Mothers’ Union), and our more recent Faith At Work group which serves younger professionals in our villages. The focal point of Jo’s work will be growing a new worshipping community on Saturday mornings, centred around Connections Café. The café runs weekly from 10am to noon at St Mary’s, Boston Spa and features delicious, fresh Fairtrade coffee and homemade cakes, served with love and a smile, and the café operates on a “Pay as You Feel” basis, and there is an informal faith slot - a pause for thought - around 11am each week Everyone is welcome, whatever their age, but our intention is that this offers a different time and place to “do church” for those who find Sunday mornings just don’t work for their household. Why not pop in?
