Big questions café is a friendly, fun gathering at Jesmond URC where we first share a meal and get to know others around our table. Then, just after we get pudding, we hear a 15-20 minute presentation addressing one of the big questions facing our lives and community. We’re then invited to discuss a series of questions arising from the presentation around our tables, digging deeper. There’s opportunities to engage with the speaker as well.

It’s a collaboration between a church and a community library to promote community cohesion. It’s not about promoting religion or trying to get people to think how ‘we’ do. It’s about bringing neighbours together for good food, big questions, and deep conversation. That’s it. And you’re welcome here.

The next Big Questions Café will be held at Jesmond URC on Thursday 13th February, 6pm – 8pm.

The theme is ‘What do you love about Jesmond?’ – a Valentine’s-themed discussion on the urban landscape of Jesmond, with Eda Soyak, a PhD student living in Brandling Park and studying the urban environment of Jesmond, Ouseburn and Walker.

Please note the date and invite friends and neighbours to come along.
