Christianity Explored
Christianity Explored is an informal 7-week course for anyone who would like to investigate Christianity, see what the Bible really says or ask any questions that they have.
Our next Christianity Explored course starts on Tuesday 25th September at 8pm in St John's Church Centre.
Looking at Mark's gospel, the course explores who Jesus is, why he came, and what it means to follow him.
Booking is not essential but is appreciated (don't be put off if you forget to book!). For more information, please contact the Church Office or email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

‘Harambee’ - Uganda August 2018 - Presentation Evening
Following their recent inspirational yet humbling mission trip to South West Uganda, the ‘Harambee’ Uganda Team would like to invite you to join them on Thursday 13th September for an opportunity to learn more about the trip, hear personal reflections from members of the team and consider the development of the ‘Harambee’ partnership going forward.
The presentation will take place in St John's, commencing with refreshments at 7.30pm, prior to an 8pm start. It would be a real encouragement to see many of you and your friends there to join with members of the other churches who were represented on the team. Please feel free to ask us if you require any further information.

Church Working Party - 22nd September
There will be a working party on Saturday 22nd September from 9am to 12pm. We’ll aim to complete a number of mainly external jobs including tidying up the grounds and weeding paths. If the weather is bad, the tasks will be indoor ones. No particular skills are required, just enthusiasm!
We have a long list of maintenance tasks, ranging from jobs that will take an hour or two, up to large scale projects. If you’re not available on 22nd September, but could offer time any day or evening, please let us know. For more details, please contact This email address is being protected from spambots.

Churchyard Grass Cutting
Many people have commented on the state of St John's churchyard, in particular the very long grass. The church is acutely aware of this problem: it has an impact on the appearance of our village and causes distress to families visiting graves.
However, the churchyard is the responsibility of Cheshire West and Cheshire Council (CWAC), not the church.
If you are unhappy with the current condition of the churchyard, please contact both Clare Barlow (01244 977376 or This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) and Neil Bowdler (0151 356 6581 or This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) at CWAC. The more people who get in touch, the better.
You may also like to contact your local councillor.
