Life at Wymondham Baptist Church (WBC) is always busy. Roots Community Café is open each week on Wednesday and Friday from 10.00a.m. to 1.00p.m. and on the second and fourth Thursday, Home from Home our warm space is open from 1.30p.m. – 4.30p.m. A warm welcome and listening ear awaits everyone who visits the church at these times and on Sunday morning for our worship service at 10.30a.m. Roots and Home from Home are supported by Norfolk Community Foundation. We want to do more to support our community but need to extend our premises in order to enable this.
WBC is excited about the future and what it may hold. We are looking to extend our premises, providing a large welcoming space which will be used by Roots Community Café, but will also be available for other events in the community offering help and support to everyone. Come and view our plans for this development, ask us about this exciting venture and if you wish, perhaps you might want to support our fund raising activities. We have also opened a Just Giving Campaign, just follow this link if you are able to help us - justgiving.com/campaign/building-project-wbc

A new venture for WBC ECO team, is a Uniform Swap on Friday, 12th April at Roots and on Saturday morning, 13th April. We are inviting families in the town to bring the uniform that their children have grown out of and hopefully swap it for an appropriate larger size. If you have some uniform in the cupboard that your child has grown out of, please let us have it so that we can pass it on. We are planning to hold another uniform swap later in the year.
As a church we are excited to be starting a new alpha course. This is an opportunity to come along and explore the Christian faith, what we believe and to help answer any questions you may have. The course will take place over 6 sessions stating on Thursday the 18th April from 6:30pm at Wymondham Baptist church. The sessions will include free refreshments and is open to all regardless of beliefs. For more details please contact us at office@wymondhambaptist.org - 01953 606520

We will be celebrating being awarded a Silver ECO Church award through A Rocha. We invite you all to share with us as we celebrate the journey to gaining the Bronze award and now the Silver award. We hope that other agencies in the town will share in this event and we will be arranging for some creative activities to be available for everyone to share in. Come along and celebrate with us as we share in the town Arts Festival.
On Saturday, 27th April again we open our doors to everyone to our Craft and Crumpets afternoon from 1.00p.m. – 4.00p.m. This is a celebration of talent at WBC. We are inviting members of our church fellowship to display their creative talents as part of our fund raising campaign for our planned church extension. Call in and share in the gifts and talents of members of the fellowship at WBC, from sewing and knitting, to scrapbooking, baking and gardening and much more. We hope that in addition to the display of work there will be items to purchase in support of the Building Fund as well as plants and cakes. Tea and Crumpets will be on sale as we share together.
