Horeb United Reformed Church - Eglwys Unedig Diwygiedig Horeb An update The continuing story of how Horeb has moved forward since things changed overnight with the arrival of COVID. As I wrote ln November we think moving forward into a 'new normal', is a more positive way of looking at things rather than the phrase we have been used to using i.e. back to ... Much of what we do and what happens doesn't change BUT if this ‘update’ is needed if just to let folk know that at we're still alive and kicking - then so be it - and it applies to all of you out there not just to Horeb members. Son of Food Co-op - Well, as I have reported since the very start of this venture, the 'Usual Suspects' continue to turn up - so we must be doing something right. BUT - as I have written repeatedly, a reminder to all readers; this is not in any way a 'closed shop' - it is open to all on Wednesdays (10.00 to 12.00. Tea / coffee / biscuits / cakes (occasionally) are provided; the cost being covered whatever you feel like putting in the pot. A relaxing time in good company with tea/coffee made to order and if it doesn't suit we'll show you how the Lincat works and where the tea/coffee/crockery is kept… … and you can make your own. Community Lunches - still up and running despite one being cancelled as a result of electrical problems.
The menu for our lunches has settled down to a level which the small team of folk from Horeb (plus some friends) can manage i.e. a bowl of soup (a choice from 2 or three) with bread roll and butter followed by a pudding and a cup of tea/coffee or a soft drink. In my role as i.c. washing up I can report that at the last two lunches all the dishes were returned empty – and there were no complaints so … If any of you who attend (or might) have a particular flavour of soup which you think might go down well let me know - (no promises – I don’t cook but I will pass suggestions to those who do) Community Activities at Christmas Horeb members were pleased to see the efforts by the Business Group to establish a Village Wide activity over Christmas. Horeb were particularly happy to be actively involved using both the Sanctuary and Paterson Hall to house part of it. With a Horeb Elder, Mrs Michelle Morris now part of the Business Group I expect Horeb to become increasingly involved in Community activities in the future. Christmas Eve - Carols at Horeb, Led by Rev Johnny O’Hanlon – Some 50 folk attended – Excellent I can only hope that both these events are both bigger and better in terms of participants at Christmas 2024 •
So, what is now considered ‘Normal’ So to repeat Morning Worship: [Sundays (10.30 - 11.30)] and a social time with tea/coffee and biscuits afterwards. 12
