Monthly parish walks, usually on the second Saturday of the month. The walks are either what we call short walks of about 2 miles or longer walks of about 5 miles, and are usually within 10 miles of Cambridge. Please contact David Waterhouse (tel 01223 510257) for more information.
Men's breakfast, held monthly on a Sunday morning (often the second Sunday, 8.30–9.40 am). The primary purpose will be to get to know each other in a relaxed environment. We will also be treated to a short story that offers a Christian perspective on the ups and downs of life and provokes thought and action. Please contact Peter Heslam for more information (tel 722822, email ), and watch the church Events news feeds for details on forthcoming breakfasts.
