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

I hope you are having a good week and enjoying this lovely start to autumn. Please find YWOW for  Harvest thanksgiving (18th Sunday after Trinity) and church notices below.

A huge thank you to everyone who helped with last Saturday’s Prayer Breakfast. It was another lovely morning of food, fellowship and prayer, and we are very grateful to everyone who prepares, cooks, serves and helps to make it such a welcoming occasion.

Thank you too to everyone involved in producing and distributing our Parish Magazine. A great deal of work goes into it each month, thank you to everyone involved; it is an important part of our communication and connection with the wider community.

Tomorrow, Saturday 3rd October at 6.30 pm, we have the Haslington Ukulele Show in St Matthew’s Church Hall. Tickets are £10, including supper. It promises to be a lot of fun, with proceeds supporting the church and church hall. Everyone is very welcome.

Harvest Thanksgiving is this Sunday, 4th October. This year, Harvest gifts from St Matthew’s and St Michael & All Angels will support Chance Changing Lives in Crewe. Christ Church’s Harvest donations will support the Sandbach churches foodbank.

There will also be a Harvest Bring and Share Lunch on Sunday in St Matthew’s Church Hall, 12.30 pm for 1.00 pm. Everyone is very welcome.

On Sunday 11th October at 3.30 pm, we have our Blessing of Animals at St Michael & All Angels, Crewe Green. We hope to be on the field if the weather is good, or in church if not. Bring your pet — or a photograph or picture of them — and please invite friends and neighbours. Everyone is welcome.

Prize Bingo is on Saturday 17th October, with eyes down at 2.00 pm. Please put the date in your diary and come along for an enjoyable afternoon.

Looking further ahead, St Matthew’s Autumn Fair with Hot Pot Lunch will be on Saturday 7th November, from 11.00 am until 2.00 pm, in St Matthew’s Church Hall. Everyone is very welcome.

Thank you, as always, for all you do to support the worship, fellowship and life of our three churches.

I hope you have a good week, and may God bless you and those you love.

With every blessing,

Vicar Jane
