Last Thursday, our volunteers enjoyed the final of 3 volunteer events, this time hosted in Waffle, Lyme Regis.
We welcomed over 43 volunteers and their plus ones to eat fresh focaccia and waffles (of course!), to hear from Bishop Karen and Matt from Waffle Lyme, as well as plenty of time for conversations and catchups!
Waffle started in Axminster to "make talking to strangers cool again" so was the perfect location to celebrate our volunteers.
Bishop Karen signed the certificates received from parishes and told all those present: "That's what all you have been doing, ordinary things with love, following the example of Christ, honouring ordinary people's endeavours tonight...
It's the ripple effect of those services to other people, how many people have been touched by your acts of kindness? Probably hundreds, maybe even thousands."
