That of God in everyone

Quizz Fundraiser

A great evening of delicious food and fun in aid of Quaker Service on Friday the 31st of March. Over £240 was raised. Thanks to all who organised and hosted the quiz (which was taken more seriously at some tables than others!) and to all who brought really yummy food.

SPRING PLANT SALE FOR QUAKER SERVICE

IMG-2830

On Saturday, 28 May we held our annual plant sale, selling the seedlings and plants from across our gardens, enjoying coffee and buns together, and in the process raising funds for Quaker Service.

Friends from South Belfast were joined by Friends from Frederick Street, Lurgan, Moyallon and Hillsborough, and we were also delighted that many of our neighbours from Marlborough Park, on their way to the shops, also dropped in and bought plants. To date over £740 has been raised.
