Preparing St Mary’s for Easter Sunday – Please if anyone can help on Saturday 8th April, please come along at 10am. Thank you Di Carter. All help appreciated!

Thanks to all those who came on Saturday 18 March, we had over 100 people attend and, potentially, some new Bell Ringers. Many thanks to Frank and all the Bell Ringers who were on hand to demonstrate the art of campanology and also to all who helped with refreshments during the day. If you would ever like to try Bell Ringing, they practice each Monday evening at 7:30pm.

UPDATE: Christian Aid Sponsored Swim – Thank you to all who supported our swimmers, we raised £870 which is a wonderful amount to help a project in Malawi. This will be added to the money collected by the Crewe Churches that took part. Thanks to Malcolm Crook from Wells Green Methodist Church for organising this excellent event. Sarah Turnbull
