A LENT lunch was held by the Tamar Valley Methodist Church at Albaston last week, raising money for Christian Aid.

Churches in the Callington and Gunnislake Methodist circuit in turn, host a lunch throughout Lent, which has been a custom for a number of years.

The Tamar Valley Methodist Church served a simple lunch of soup and a dessert, followed by coffee.

The lunch raised £197 for Christian Aid.
