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

Dear friends in Christ,

I hope you are having a good week and enjoying the lovely autumn colours. Please find YWOW for the 19th Sunday after Trinity and our church notices below.

A huge thank you to everyone who helped us celebrate Harvest Thanksgiving last Sunday. Thank you to all who decorated and prepared our churches so beautifully, to everyone who brought gifts and donations, and to those who helped with our Harvest services and Bring and Share Lunch. Your generosity and hard work are greatly appreciated. Our Harvest gifts will support Chance Changing Lives in Crewe and the Sandbach Churches Foodbank, helping those in need in our local communities.

This Saturday, 10th October, Linda will be licensed as Reader with Permission to Officiate (PTO) at Chester Cathedral. Many congratulations to Linda, and our warmest thanks for her faithful ministry and all that she contributes to the worship and life of our churches. We wish her every blessing as she continues her ministry among us and blesses us.

This Sunday, 11th October at 3.30 pm, we have our Blessing of Animals at St Michael & All Angels, Crewe Green. We hope to gather on the field if the weather is good, or in church if not. Please bring your pet — or a photograph or picture of them — and invite friends and neighbours to join us. Everyone is very 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 held 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 lovely weekend, and may God bless you and those you love.

With every blessing,

Vicar Jane
