Polish community

Just a thought - the corner shops of Islington all have little signs (Polski Produkti!) for the benefit of the not inconsiderable Polish community, so how about the corner church? We have quite a cross cultural opportunity there. Migrant workers from Eastern Europe are a misunderstood social phenomenon, and aren't particularly welcome, so that ought to be a chance for us to be different as Christians. If we open our doors, and if we found even one Polish Christian, who knows who we might find, and what we might learn? We could have a housegroup in Polish before you know it.

I'm not aware of any Polish speakers in the church, but there is a Polish church in Angel who could help. I'm also in daily contact with our product developers at the Polish branch at work, so we could get a welcome notice translated.
