Dear friends in Christ,

I hope you are having a good week and enjoying the beautiful autumn colours. Please find YWOW and our church notices below.

Thank you to everyone who supported our Prize Bingo last Saturday, whether by organising, helping, donating prizes or coming along to enjoy the afternoon. Your support and generosity are very much appreciated, and it was lovely to see everyone enjoying the fun and fellowship.

Today, Friday, we have our Coffee Morning at St Matthew’s Church Hall, from 10.00 am until 12 noon. Do come along for a cup of coffee, a chat and some friendly company. Everyone is very welcome.

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. We hope you will be able to join us for this lovely occasion and support everyone who works so hard to make it happen.

St Michael & All Angels Christmas Fair will take place on Saturday 14th November, from 11.00 am until 2.00 pm, in St Michael & All Angels Church, Crewe Green. Please come along and support this festive event as we begin to look towards Christmas.

Our Advent Course – Walking with Angels will begin on Thursday 19th November at 7.00 pm, at Christ Church, Wheelock. This will be a four-week course, meeting each Thursday evening until 10th December. Advent offers us a special opportunity to pause amid the busyness of life, reflect on our faith and prepare our hearts for the coming of Christ. Everyone is warmly invited to join us for these evenings of reflection, conversation and fellowship.

St Matthew’s Christmas Pantomime Raffle – Donation books are now available in St Matthew’s Church for anyone who would like to make a donation. The raffle will take place on Saturday 5th December at Soup and Carols. Thank you to everyone who supports this festive fundraising event.

Thank you, as always, for all you do to support the worship, fellowship and life of our three churches. Your kindness, generosity and willingness to give your time are greatly appreciated.

​

I hope you have a lovely weekend, and may God bless you and those you love.

With every blessing,

Vicar Jane
