At Christ Church, we believe no one should have to spend Christmas Day alone. That\u2019s why we are delighted to invite anyone who would appreciate some company to our Christmas Day Dinner at the Christ Church Community Centre.<\/p>\n<p>On 25th December, from 12 noon to 3:30pm, guests will be welcomed into a warm, festive atmosphere to enjoy a delicious three-course Christmas meal. The afternoon will also include Christmas carols, conversation, plenty of laughter, and the chance to watch The King\u2019s Speech together. It\u2019s a wonderful opportunity to meet new people, share the joy of the season, and experience community at its best.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you\u2019re feeling isolated or simply prefer to spend the day in company, you are warmly invited.<\/p>\n<p>We are also looking for a few more volunteers to help the day run smoothly. We need two additional helpers in the kitchen and several drivers who can collect guests and take them home afterwards. If you are able to offer a little of your time on Christmas Day, it would make a real difference.<\/p>\n<p>To reserve your place, please call 01793 267500 or email <a href=\"mailto:chris@christchurchswindon.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">chris@christchurchswindon.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The suggested donation is \u00a310, but everyone is welcome regardless of ability to contribute.<\/p>\n<p>This event is supported by DSNY Wealth Planning, whose generosity helps us ensure that Christmas Day is a time of connection and joy for all.<\/p>\n<p>If you or someone you know would benefit from a warm meal and a friendly atmosphere this Christmas, please join us. You will be made very welcome<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12538","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-cc-home-page"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.christchurchswindon.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12538","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.christchurchswindon.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.christchurchswindon.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.christchurchswindon.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.christchurchswindon.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12538"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.christchurchswindon.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12538\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12540,"href":"https:\/\/www.christchurchswindon.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12538\/revisions\/12540"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.christchurchswindon.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12538"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.christchurchswindon.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12538"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.christchurchswindon.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12538"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
