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 First Sunday after Trinity, together with the church notices below.

Thank you to everyone involved in the worship and hospitality at Christ Church as we gathered for our United Benefice service. It was wonderful to come together in fellowship and worship.

Our summer Bible study course, Living Generously, continues on Wednesdays at 7.00 pm in St Matthew’s Church Hall. This eight-session Church of England course is based around the verse:

"Mary took a pound of costly perfume made of pure nard, anointed Jesus’ feet, and wiped them with her hair." (John 12:3)

The course explores the generosity of God and the freedom and joy of generous living in response to the love of Christ. Everyone is warmly welcome, whether you are able to attend regularly or simply join us when you can.

We are looking forward to the Strawberry Fair at St Michael & All Angels on Saturday 13th June, from 2.00 pm to 4.00 pm in the church.

Looking 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.

Everyone is warmly invited 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 BCP 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. 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 celebration and in supporting the ongoing fundraising for the church hall. Everyone is very welcome, and please do invite family and friends.

Our social events are always 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.

With every blessing,

Jane
