Ragtag Misfits at After Hours Live

Helly and Andy, otherwise known as the Ragtag Misfits delighted the After Hours Live audience in the picturesque Octavia's Cafe in Wisbech last night. Expertly weaving their life-story of homelessness and poverty that ended up leading to discovery of faith throughout their set, held the audience entranced. They sang some stunning original songs mixed in with a few covers that all blended seamlessly together in their acoustic / folk style. Having travelled all the way from Liverpool to perform they had to include a Beatles number. With the addition of an harmonica to the drum and guitar their version of 'Love Me Do' was breathtaking.

Having recently completed a tour of every county in the country to raise money and awareness about Foodbanks, After Hours Live did not miss the opportunity to take a collection of food items for our own local Wisbech Foodbank. People were very generous and two crates of food have been donated. Thank you.

After Hours Live takes a break over the summer holidays but we will be back in September with an extremely talented young, local musician, Joel Fitzsimmons - don't miss it!

First Collection for the Wisbech Food Bank

Food collected at church today for the Wisbech Food Bank

The Wisbech Food Bank is opening in early June, so at church today we had our first ever food collection to help stock the Wisbech Food Bank before it opens. With some of the members of our church actively involved in the running of the Food Bank in Wisbech we are able to keep up to date with the need in our community as well as able to get involved as a whole church community and donate various food items.

Thanks to everyone who donated today. We ended up with even more food than is in the photo and it was very encouraging the see so many people in the church getting behind this worthwhile charity.

There will be more collections for the Wisbech Food Bank in the coming months. Please keep a look out in the church newsletter to find out when these will be taking place. However, a continuous collection point for the Wisbech Food Bank has been set up in the Oasis Book Shop (located at the end of Norfolk Street in Wisbech) if you would like to keep donating food on a more regular basis.
