Bringing pleasure to and helping others
Have you ever had your lunch at the Scots Kirk Soup and Cheese lunch ? Never ? Well , you have been missing out , haven ’ t you ! Once a month , devoted helpers organise a lunch in the church Fellowship Centre . This consists of soup , bread , cheese , fruit , tea / coffee and biscuits . All for Sfrs . 10 . - . The profits from the lunch are sent twice a year to charity . The charity this year is “ La Soupe Populaire ” in Lausanne . Each evening , this organisation , run by volunteers , prepares soup for up to 300 needy people . In 2017 we were able to contribute Sfrs . 1300 . - to this worthy cause . The Soup and Cheese lunches have been running for over 70 years . The church would like to continue this long tradition . However , the organiser will be withdrawing from the “ soup ladle ” later this year after many years of devoted stirring !
This is not a strenuous responsibility . The lunch is held once a month only , on the first Wednesday of each month . Of course , this day could always be changed according to which day suits best . There is a rota for soup makers , so there is no need for you yourself to prepare the soup . If you would like to have some more information as to what is involved , why not come along to the next lunch on
WEDNESDAY , 4th APRIL . Contact the Minister for further details Or telephone the current organiser : Ilze Condemi : 021 646 86 80 or 079 745 35 92
