Five benefices working together for faith and the future
Hospitality
Hospitality potting shed is presently aspirational; however its potential is significant due to several active hospitality-related projects within the deanery. These projects encompass initiatives such as the Bridge Café at Emmanuel Church, the Hope Church pop-up at the Perch Business Centre, Monthly (on 3rd Thursday) Little Fishes group at St Mary’s Church, Breakfast Church at Middleton Stoney Village Hall, Rise and Shine community Café and others.
