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

​Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,

As we continue our journey through Lent — a season of reflection, renewal, and grace — please find attached this week’s YWOW, together with the church notices below.

​

With gratitude, we thank those who have helped prepare our churches for this holy season, especially those who changed the hangings to the purple of Lent and those who created and arranged the displays. These quiet, faithful acts often go unseen, yet they gently shape our worship and remind us of the deeper rhythms of the Church’s life. Thank you for your care and generosity of service.

​

Our Lent Course, Draw Near, has now begun at Christ Church, Wheelock. Please remember that each session stands alone, and you would be very welcome to join at any point, whether for a single evening or more. The course meets on Thursday evenings at 7.00 pm in the café area.

​

The World Day of Prayer Service will be held on Friday 6th March at 2.00 pm at Haslington United Reformed Church. This is always a lovely and prayerful occasion, and everyone is warmly invited to join with fellow Christians from across our community.

​

St Michael & All Angels, Crewe Green, will host its next Brunch Coffee Morning on Saturday 14th March, from 10.00 am until 12 noon. Do come along if you are able — all are very welcome.

​

Our Prayer Breakfast will take place on 28th March 2026 at 10.00 am in St Matthew’s Church Hall. Thank you to all who help make this gathering possible and to those who come together for fellowship and prayer. Everyone is most welcome.

​

Please also note that Sunday 29th March is a Fifth Sunday. There will be a United Benefice Service at 10.30 am at St Matthew’s Church, Haslington. There will be no services at St Michael & All Angels or at Christ Church, Wheelock on that day, and everyone is warmly encouraged to come together as a benefice family.
