BUT
Due to refurbishment the Bap will be closed on Friday 23rd December and re-open on Monday 9th January.
IT IS SITUATED NEXT DOOR TO OUR CHURCH IN HOLYROOD STREET Telephone No 64447.
Run by Volunteers, who are always willing to chat with you.
‘Bap’ is a play on words, short for’Baptist’ but also a type of bun.
Do try our Bacon Baps!
It has been part of the church for 18 years.
We do try to serve as many fair trade products as possible; this now covers all our hot drinks. Our cakes are homemade by members of our church.
The Bap was opened to give a window to the Church and to build bridges into the community.
Today it has become a meeting place for friends, and a refuge for the lonely.
The 3rd Monday of the month sees a lunch club take place, mainly to cater for those who usually eat alone, which ends with a short epilogue.
The Welcome Bap is also used for Alpha courses and other smaller meetings.
Our prayer box, found on the side of the counter is also a way our customers can ask us to pray for them. Each morning the staff starts the day remembering the many needs which have been requested for prayer.
