The Weekly Sheet has this week’s Readings and News on it


Christmas Services


Christmas Thank Yous

Thanks to all those who have prepared our churches for Christmas and have helped at services leading up to Christmas. Also, thank you to Motherwell (motherwellcheshirecio.com) for arranging the delivery of the free Christmas Tree at St Mary’s from Crewe Town Council. Thank you also to Richmond Village, Nantwich, for the big nativity characters outside St Mary’s.


St Mary’s Heating – it’s up and running!!

The heating at St Mary’s is up and running! Can you help towards the cost of £7800? Consider whether you’ve been blessed (& heated) by the previous boiler over the past 50 years, if so, consider donating to offset the cost, large or small, online or on the plate. Mark it ‘Heating’. Thanks for all the donations already received.
