At the heart of Lyn’s House are small, mixed-ability groups who travel together over time and meet to eat, pray and just spend time together in a spirit of friendship. It was DIY pizza for this group last Wednesday!

We’ve begun meeting to eat and pray again! It’s been great to be back together. We celebrated a birthday too! These small, mixed-ability groups are at the heart of Lyn’s House: people journey together over a whole year (sometimes longer) deepening understanding and trust – in each other and in God.

We found some lovely new (second-hand) furniture for the lounge-diner in Lyn’s House! The new dining benches have cushions – so they’ll be more comfy to sit on. We have a new sofa, armchair, and armchair-bed, and some wooden side tables. Now to add some people….!

On Sunday June 11th we celebrated our tenth anniversary in glorious sunshine – with almost 70 people gathered in the gardens outside the house! There were people from far and near: people who had been part of Lyn’s House from the very beginning, as well as lots of newer friends and supporters. We tried toContinue reading “We’re 10 Years Old!!”

We’re really grateful to John Tallamy for running in the Cambridge half marathon to help support Lyn’s House, There’s still time to donate to help him over the line with his fundraising target – just 9% short! Hope you don’t feel it too much tomorrow – and thank youContinue reading “He did it!”

In February, we came together on a Saturday afternoon to think about the different ways in which we pray, individually and collectively, as a Lyn’s House community. We all brought some items that we use to pray and shared with eachother thoughts, ideas and experiences from our own prayer lives. There was an interactive prayerContinue reading “Prayer Event”

This covers the rent of a community room; food for shared meals; resources for arts and crafts activities; andContinue reading “Marathon Man!”

We met over tea and cake for the second time this term. We welcomed five visitors, celebrated a couple of recent birthdays, and all got involved in acting out the story of Jesus feeding 5,000 people with just a child’s packed lunch! Pictures of the drama below. Jesus’ friends are worried. Nobody knows how toContinue reading “February tea party”
