Open Doors Café is back up and running after the festive period
We popped back to Bicester Methodist Church on Friday to meet people who attend the Open Doors Café.
It was another vibrant afternoon seeing many people come along for food and warmth. They are back up and running after the festive period and are open every Friday from 12pm to 1.30pm at Bicester Methodist Church. Here are a few photos.
Here are photos of the delicious food.
