Books, Bagels & Banter
📚🥯🎤✨ Books, Bagels & Banter 2025 – Get Involved! ✨🎤🥯📚
Preparations are well underway, and we can’t wait to reveal this year’s speakers soon!
As always, the success of Books, Bagels & Banter relies on the generous support of our parish community. Here’s how you can help:
📖 Donate Your Unwanted Books
Drop off good-quality books at the office (Tues–Fri, 9:30am–12:30pm) or in the blue box at the back of the church. No encyclopaedias, atlases, magazines, or Reader’s Digests, please.
📚 Help Sort Books
A big thank you to everyone who has helped so far! We still have plenty to sort—if you can spare an hour or two, join us in the church hall on Wednesday between 9.30am–12 noon.
📢 Spread the Word!
We’d love your help in promoting the event—tell your friends, family, book clubs and colleagues. Pick up flyers at the back of the church or share this post to your friends and family.
Thank you for your support! 💙 #BooksBagelsBanter #CommunityEvent #SupportLocal #GetInvolved #BooksAndBagels
