News from the Vine

News from The Vine - as we head into December we will be fully embracing Christmas with a tree, lights, carols and (once again) our festive specials as an addition to our usual menu!  If you are not familiar with this the specials consist of an additional filling to either a toastie, cob or sandwich of turkey, stuffing and cranberry sauce, a mince pie served warm with cream and hot mulled (non-alcoholic) punch.  These are sold separately or as a meal deal for the bargain price of £6.00!  If you are planning to come and enjoy this deal in numbers over four then please give us a heads up so we can adequately cater (01455 612345).

We still have plenty of Christmas cards and gift ideas in stock so do keep us in mind when doing your Christmas shopping.  We've recently had some lovely new items in our gift corner - stationery, jewellery, wall plaques, coasters, mugs and (for the first time) embroidery sets - so do drop in for a browse.

We are still in need of extra help at The Vine - we particularly need a volunteer to help cover Thursday lunchtimes.  This doesn't necessarily need to involve food handling so long as you could use the till - please do get in touch if you would like to join our team.  We are also still looking for the right person to be our new assistant manager - please make contact with us for more details.  Jessica (manager).

 

Hinckley Area Foodbank

Hinckley Area Foodbank - thank you to everyone who donates food to foodbank. The following are current stocks we are less well-off for: Small tins of beans, meat, vegetables and fruit; biscuits, microwave rice; confectionery and shampoo.

Our Food Bank collection point is outside 18 Mill Close if anyone wishes to make a donation. Other donation points exist including The Vine Christian Book shop.

 

Café Worship

We begin our Christmas celebrations at Cafe Worship on Dec 4th at 7pm.
As usual it will be a Bring & Share Christmas meal followed by an evening when we share poems, carols, video clips or anything Christmassy?‍?. I you could let me know your requests/contributions by Dec 1st then I can prepare the PowerPoint.

Thank you

In recent years, we have collected between £200 and £300 for this very worthy cause. Please come and join us-either to sing or to collect.
