Coffee Pot is our regular Thursday morning activity at St Paul's. At 9:45 a.m. we hold a Communion service in the side chapel. The congregation there is a mixture of those who for different reasons are unable to attend on Sundays and those who welcome a second, midweek opportunity to meet to worship God. Although, perhaps, quieter than the Sunday service, this service is thoughtful, good-humoured and welcoming.
After the service, around 40 join for Coffee and Biscuits (unless one is lucky enough to be present on a birthday when you might get cake!). Everyone is welcome to this, whether or not they have been to the service. Sometimes, there is also a gentle exercise class. It's a time when many who are older welcome the opportunity to get out and join with others.
If you are free on a Thursday morning, do come and join us.
St Paul's is a vibrant church in the open-evangelical tradition. It is part of the Church of England and its Parish serves Oadby, east of the A6. It is also part of a larger group of parishes, called a "Benefice," which includes St Peter's Oadby, Great Glen and Burton Overy with Carlton Curlieu. We seek to be a church for all ages, backgrounds, cultures and nationalities, that is growing and following Jesus. We have a congregation of about one hundred at our main Sunday service and are always pleased to welcome enquirers and visitors.
