* L’Arche London’s Monday Morning Music Club 

L’Arche London’s Monday Morning Music Club (10 -11 a.m.) is a place to share who you are, and to be celebrated for who you are. People of all abilities are welcome to come and share in a way that is meaningful for them. Some play the drum, some sing in a microphone, some play guitar or piano, and some prefer to dance or clap their hands. Since the year 2000, we have been meeting together in this way, sharing a message of hope and mutuality. 

 

Starting September 11, 2023, Music Club is back in person every week at the Gathering Place (4448 Col. Talbot Rd.)
