It was the Sunday before Valentine’s day.  We spent time together: talking, doing puzzles, eating home-made Swedish cinnamon buns (thank you Sandra!) We thought about what love is like. And we remembered that Jesus loves us.

One of our midweek groups had home-made curry together last week. There was butter chicken, aloo gobi, cucumber raita, mango lassi and poppadoms (ok, the lassi and the poppadoms weren’t home-made!) Dessert was home-made brownies and ice cream. There was a lot of fun and laughter… …though this photo has captured a more serious part ofContinue reading “Curry night!”

We celebrated early, before some members of Lyn’s House headed home for the Christmas vacation. There were carols, a scratch nativity, and a visit from members of the choir of Sidney Sussex College to sing a couple of carols – and all the descants!

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 delighted that a new research project is starting at Lyn’s House this autumn. It will be a collaboration with John Swinton and the Centre for Spirituality, Health and Disability at the University of Aberdeen. Members of the Lyn’s House community will be participants in designing, conducting and disseminating the research. We hope that itContinue reading “New research project at Lyn’s House”

At the centre of our physical gathering together at Lyn’s House are our midweek meal groups. We have such a fun time altogether; cooking, eating, drinking, dancing, praying, laughing, and even jenga-ing. Here are some photos from our recent meals.
