United Benefice of
St. Matthew, Haslington, St. Michael & All Angels Crewe Green, Christ Church Wheelock

Dear lovely people of God,

Please find attached YWOW for the 9th Sunday after Trinity and some church notices below.

Thank you to everyone who prayed, donated, baked and bought, to fund raise for the people of Gaza; together we raised around £329. Thank you for your huge generosity and effort. The money will be donated to the Tearfund Gaza campaign.

Today we commemorate the 80th anniversary of the end of WW2, Victory over Japan Day (V-J Day), with an outdoor service in Queen's Park at 10.45 am everyone is very welcome. There will be refreshments afterwards.

This Saturday we gather to walk along the Salt Line and lunch. We're meeting at 10.30 am at the Hassall Green carpark, walking about 1 mile plus a bit, along the Salt Line, and having lunch at The Horseshoe pub at 12.30pm. There will be lifts back from the pub and the walking pace will allow much time for chatting and enjoying the summer flowers. Please sign up in St Matthew's church (there is a list at the back) and please indicate what you'd like to eat. Unfortunately, pooches aren't allowed inside the pub, but there is the chance to dine outside if the weather is good.

Next Friday, 22nd August, is St Matthew's coffee morning, 10.00am until 12 noon, in the church hall. Everyone is welcome. Thanks to jane McCombie and the team for making this happen for us all.

 

The church is celebrating the 1700th anniversary of the Nicene Creed, and so we're running a course called "We Believe" to learn more about the statement of faith that we say every Sunday! The course is 5 sessions, we begin on September 11th, 7.00pm in St Matthew's church hall. Please come and bring a friend.

With every blessing
