Promoting a safer church

Dear People of God,

Please find attached this week's YWOW for the 7th Sunday after Trinity, together with our weekly church notices.

There is much to look forward to over the coming weeks, and we warmly invite you to join us whenever you can.

This Saturday (18th July) we shall be holding our Strawberry Tea in St Matthew's Church Hall, from 2.00 pm until 4.00 pm. Do come along for a relaxed afternoon of fellowship, strawberries, refreshments and good company. Everyone is very welcome.

Our regular Friday Coffee Morning will be held on 24th July, from 10.00 am until 12 noon in St Matthew's Church Hall. Whether you're a regular or have never been before, we'd love to see you. It is a lovely opportunity to meet friends old and new over a cup of coffee and a chat.

The following day, Saturday 25th July, we meet again at 10.00 am for our Prayer Breakfast in St Matthew's Church Hall. Sharing breakfast together before spending time in prayer for our churches, our communities and one another is always a special part of our life together.

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, with all proceeds supporting the continuing refurbishment of St Matthew's Church Hall. Tickets are available from Arliene.

Looking ahead to August, St Michael & All Angels, Crewe Green, will be hosting a Brunch Coffee Morning on Saturday 8th August, from 10.00 am until 12 noon. We hope many people will be able to join us for coffee, brunch and good company. A warm welcome awaits everyone.

Further ahead, on Sunday 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 display celebrating the life and worship of St Matthew's, so if you have any photographs, memorabilia or other items of interest, she would be delighted to hear from you.

Our social events are an important part of our common life. They strengthen friendships, build fellowship, welcome newcomers and remind us that the Church is not simply somewhere we come on a Sunday, but a community in which we share our lives together.

My sincere thanks go to everyone who gives so generously of their time and gifts to make these events possible: those who prepare food, serve refreshments, bake cakes, welcome visitors, organise rotas, set up and clear away, look after our buildings and gardens, arrange flowers, lead worship, provide music, and quietly undertake the many unseen jobs that help our churches flourish. Your faithful service is deeply appreciated.

Finally, it is a real joy to see the continuing transformation of St Matthew's Church Hall. Thank you to everyone who has worked so hard to raise funds, oversee the project and support this important investment in the future of our church and community.

I hope and pray that you have a peaceful and blessed week.

With every blessing,

Jane
