Lunch resources

Keep the conversation flowing and learn more about why Church Action on Poverty exists. We’ve got placemats that your congregation can add your prayers or messages to; conversation cards on the theme of food, faith & fellowship; and flyers to make it easier for guests to donate. 

  • Flyers for the table – Please place one or two on every table.
  • Conversation cards – Print a few copies, cut the cards out, and distribute them around the tables
  • Placemats – Print as many as you need, and ask your guests to write their own prayer or message, and send us a picture.

Art resources

We have three stunning ‘tablescape’ paintings, reflecting the theme of food, faith and fellowship. They have been created by Susan Bence, a Church Action on Poverty supporter and talented artist. Each is accompanied by a suggested scripture reading, and conversation prompts.

  • Art pack – Print the pages to display on your wall. A3 is best, but A4 will work if you don’t have an A3 printer.
  • Poem by Brian Ford
