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

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,

Please find attached YWOW for the Third Sunday after Trinity, together with the church notices below.

A huge thank you to everyone who helped organise the Strawberry Fair at St Michael & All Angels, and to everyone who came along to support it. It was a wonderful afternoon of fellowship and community.

Friday (27th June), St Matthew's Coffee Morning will be held in the church hall from 10.00 am until 12 noon. Do come along if you are free for coffee, cake, conversation and friendship. Everyone is very welcome, and we'd love to see you. Thank you to our wonderful organisers.

Please note, there is no Generous Giving bible study this coming week, 24th June. We will meet again on 1st July. Thanks a lot

Looking a little further ahead, there will be a Cheese and Wine Evening at St Matthew's Church Hall on Saturday 27th June. Tickets are available from Christine.

We are also looking forward to Steve and Viv Grunner's Coffee Morning on Friday 31st July, from 10.00 am until 12 noon. Tickets are £5, and all proceeds will go towards the refurbishment of St Matthew's Church Hall.

On 20th September, St Matthew's will celebrate its Patronal Festival (the Sunday nearest St Matthew's Day) with a Choral Book of Common Prayer Evensong, led by Christine and the choir. The service will be followed by refreshments in the church hall. Arleine is preparing a presentation on the life and worship of St Matthew's, so if anyone has photographs, memorabilia or other items of interest, please do get in touch with her. We offer our sincere thanks to everyone involved in preparing for this special celebration and in supporting the ongoing fundraising for the church hall. Everyone is warmly invited, so please do encourage family and friends to come along.

Our social events are wonderful opportunities for fellowship, friendship, enjoyment and supporting the life and ministry of our churches. Thank you to all who work so hard behind the scenes to organise them.

Finally, a huge thank you to the amazing team who have led the fundraising and refurbishment of St Matthew's Church Hall. It is wonderful to see the beautiful new windows in place, and we look forward to the refurbishment of the toilets as the next stage of this exciting project.

With every blessing,

Jane
