Café Theo is a community education opportunity featuring motivating speakers on a variety of topics that affect us in our everyday lives and faith journeys. The evening starts at 7pm with coffee, cake and music, at 7:30pm a talk on the chosen topic is given by the guest speaker and finishes with an opportunity for discussion. Open to all, there is no entry fee although koha to help us cover costs is appreciated.
2021 sees the Ven Dr Lyndon Drake and the Most Rev Sir David Moxon as our guest speakers to restart our Café Theo programme. We are privileged to have two such experienced Christian speakers join us.
