Cakes for Crosslinks! 

If you ever needed an excuse to eat cake, here's a great one! At Gidea Park Methodist a coffee morning helped raise money for two good causes, one of which was Crosslinks. Thank you to all who took part. 

With the anniversary of Crosslinks’ foundation coming up on 27th October, we're looking for others who would like to organise Crosslinks events. It might be a prayer meeting, coffee morning or meal. If you would like some sheets on running your own event please call Karen on 020 8691 6111.
