Church BBQ - 1st September
We are planning to have a Church BBQ on Sunday 1st September, after the morning service, down at the Church Centre. For this to be a success, we need volunteers to bring a BBQ with them and cook! If you are able to help in this way, please contact the This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
We will supply burgers/sausages and buns, and ask that everyone brings a salad or a pudding with them, please.
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.
Next course! Our next Christianity Explored course starts on Tuesday 10th 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..

The Fisherman's Tale
We are delighted to confirm that we will be hosting Peter and Julie Fraser, from Bible Encounter Trust, in June 2020, for their new story trail, 'The Fisherman's Tale'. As with their previous story trails, this will be a fully immersive experience for our local schools, telling the story of Peter the Disciple.
We will, of course, need a considerable volunteer work force for this event to run smoothly, so we would like to give you some dates for your diary now. Set-up will be on 13th, 14th, 15th & 16th June. Schools and other groups will be visiting in the daytime and evenings from Wednesday 17th until Friday 26th June. We will also be open to the public on Saturday 20th June. Take-down will be on the afternoon and evening of Friday 26th June, and during the day on Saturday 27th June.
Please pray for Teresa as she sends out invitations to the schools in September and keep a look out in the notices for more information about how you can help nearer the time. Thank you.

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.
