St Mary’s Churchyard
Revd Mike and the PCC sincerely apologise for the current condition of the churchyard. Due no fault of our own, and circumstances beyond our control, our beautiful churchyard is in a poor condition. We have taken steps for it to be brought back to the condition it should be within the next few days. We are sorry for any upset this has caused.
The Alpha Course
We had a great time at Alpha Week 1 and we continue this Wednesday, 7:30pm at St Luke’s.
Men’s Get Together
Revd Mike invites you to a men’s evening at the Rectory, 104 Church Lane, CW2 8ER on Friday 11 July at 7:30pm. Please bring with you a drink which you enjoy and a savoury snack to share. We will have a quiz courtesy of Nigel Simms and an opportunity for a chat and maybe make some plans for what we’d like to do for social, spiritual and fun events.
Terry Spokes’ Funeral
The family of Terry Spokes would like to share with you his funeral details. Terry’s funeral service will be at St Mary’s Wistaston on Friday 20 June at 11:15am. All those who knew him are warmly invited to attend.
Summer Maintenance Jobs at St Mary’s
In the Rota File in St Mary’s porch there is a list of outdoor maintenance jobs at St Mary’s that would be good to get done during the summer months.
Simply sign up on the sheet for the job you’d like to do and do it in your own time. Thanks in advance.

Choir Vestry Repairs
The Dry Rot repairs in the Choir Vestry will cost in the region of £19,000 to repair. However, add to this roof repairs, plastering, painting and professional fees, the whole project could be in the region of £30,000. Many thanks for the donations and pledges received so far, if you would like to pledge a donation towards this project please let Revd Mike know.
