The breakfast was held after the joint Taize and BCP service, a once a year joining of young and old for worship and food! The event also allowed people to buy the food they had tried, as many of the supplies were purchased from the monthly Traidcraft stall held in the parish centre. It was a fun event which also raised funds for out Mission Group.
