Thank you to Val Smout, Karen Somerville, Mary Burke, Keith Bainbridge, Gloria Ronald, Rev Mike Smout and Dr Murray Steele for their being patient and retaining a sense of humour, when they found Soup Stop gatecrashed by a pushy community news reporter and his camera, on a cold and wet Tuesday afternoon  :-)

"Soup Stop" New Church House Ormskirk - No preaching, just soup and a smile! Tuesday lunchtimes

Soup Stop Parish Church Ormskirk
At this time of year, the weather is cold and often wet.  It's Tuesday morning, you need to go out for a bit of shopping, but after a short while walking around the town, you know you're going to feel the cold.

Money is a bit tight this week or you could stop in at a cafe to warm up. Solution?

Go and get your shopping and on the walk home, stop, come in out of the cold and warm up with Soup Stop at the New Church House, Ormskirk Parish Church.

The friendly people at the Parish Church are inviting everyone to come along and enjoy its Soup Stop.

Enjoy good company and conversation over a bowl of hot and hearty soup (and bread), every Tuesday between midday and 2pm.

Also, it won't cost you a penny, it's comletely free.  (But if you want to donate some loose change, they won't say no)

New Church House is next to the Parish Church.

By the way if you don't like soup, or you're out shopping on a Wednesday - The Coffee Stop is also on at New Church House, Wednesday afternoons.
