Community BBQ 26

Our Annual Community Summer BBQ

You Are Invited! Join Us for Our Summer Community BBQ

There is nothing quite like coming together as a community over good food and friendly conversation. We are excited to invite you, your family, and your neighbours to The Good Shepherd Community BBQ!

Whether you have been part of our community for years or have never stepped through our doors before, this event is for you. It is a simple, fun opportunity to connect, relax, and celebrate summer together.

What to Expect

We are firing up the grill and setting out tables for an afternoon filled with tasty food and great company. Here is a little of what we have planned for the Community BBQ:

  • Delicious Food: We will have plenty of classic BBQ options on the grill, including vegetarian and vegan choices so everyone can enjoy a hot meal.
  • Refreshing Drinks: Cold drinks for all ages, along with our usual tea and coffee.
  • Grab a Bargain: Jumble sale in the curch hall.
  • Great Company: A relaxed, welcoming space to catch up with old friends and make new ones.

Event Details

  • Date: 22nd August 2026
  • Time: 1 PM – 3 PM
  • Location: The Good Shepherd
  • Cost: Free! (Donations are welcome if you wish, but certainly not expected)

Everyone Is Welcome

Bring your family, invite a neighbour, or pop along on your own to the Community BBQ. You are guaranteed a warm welcome and a friendly seat at the table.

We cannot wait to share a wonderful afternoon with you. If you have any questions or specific dietary requirements, please feel free to reach out to us beforehand.

See you at the grill!
