The Oyster Club
A Christian Social Club
|
|
The Oyster Club was created in April 2005 to fill a gap in the Hemel Hempstead Methodist Church’s outreach program. We currently have over thirty members, consisting of both men and women with ages ranging from mid fifties to mid nineties and several with disabilities. We meet weekly at HHMC, Northridge Way using the Ashtree Way entrance.
On alternate weeks we have a speaker to talk on a subject of their choice. We have been fortunate to enjoy a very broad spectrum of subjects.
Our monthly devotional services have been a time for quiet reflection and praise, with the various leaders bringing their individuality to the services. We are fortunate to have Ethel Pack to accompany our singing.
Our Free and Easy meetings have seen a boom in knitting, whilst others make jigsaws, play board games or just chat to their neighbour. There is also usually a quiz to tax our brains. Over the year we have covered shoe boxes for Operation Christmas Child, made table decorations to suit the seasons and made birthday and Christmas cards.
All this is rounded off with a light two course lunch, when the committee members show off the results of their skills at making puddings!
We have a basic charge of £2.50 per meeting. Also transport is available at a cost of £2.00 each way. Please come and see if we suit. The current program is available on the church notice board. Enquiries to Madeleine Freelove (211399) or members.
