Vintage Adventure

A new ministry among older people was launched in September 2021, led by the Churches in Thatcham, called Vintage Adventure.

What is Vintage Adventure?

• It’s a different way of doing church
• It’s Christ-centred worship with fun, fellowship and food
• It’s creative worship in which everyone can celebrate in comfort
• It touches all the senses
• It makes space for friendship
• It’s a ministry among older people
• It’s inclusive and dementia friendly

“…is based on Messy (Church) principles of creativity, hospitality and celebration” 

“…sets people free to be who God wants them to be”

Quotes from Debbie Thrower (former BBC news broadcaster), Anna Chaplaincy Pioneer

Two comments from people who have attended their Vintage Adventure:

“It’s the best afternoon’s fun I’ve had for ages!”

“I came along on my own, not really knowing what to expect and I’ve felt really welcome.”

They are particularly mindful that many older people feel unable to return to formal Sunday worship since the pandemic and others have enjoyed little social interaction as a result of Covid restrictions.

Some people are reconnecting with their faith and others are simply curious about the Christian faith. 

At Vintage Adventure there is a place for everyone.

You are assured of a warm welcome… and refreshments and homemade cakes!

Please do go along.

Encourage others or invite your neighbours across Thatcham who are young at heart to join them.
