Annual Sponsored Ride and Stride event takes place on Saturday morning on 14th September. The aim is to ‘collect’ churches by visiting them and this can be done in any way except car, van etc. You can walk, cycle, ride a horse, use a motorised scooter, hop, skip and so on! We have a map of a possible route to local churches, but you can choose to do something different even if you are away on holiday. Even if you can get to just one church that would be appreciated. The event is organised by the Historic Churches of Cheshire Trust. All sponsorship is split equally between the Trust and our church and by taking part it gives us a better chance to receive grant from the Trust – something that we may well need in the coming months. In previous years a few people have done this event, but it would be good to see a large number of us this year. Sponsor forms are on the hall noticeboard along with a poster.
Stalls For Christmas Fayre (November 16th 2019). Tombola (Allan & Joyce, Chocolate Stall (Gill), Cakes (Rita), Round Pound (Kath), Crafts (Helen & Carole), Christmas (Jean), Raffle and Hamper Stall. If you have anything you would like to donate for the stalls could you please give them to the person/people named.
Our benevolent fund has sat unused for a long time, recently there has been a demand upon it and has depleted the funds, therefore we will be taking up a benevolent collection separate to your church collection at our future Holy Communion services.
As part of our growth plan we are going to be recording our Sunday services which will be available to listen to on line. We would also like to purchase some basic MP3 players that the services can be downloaded onto for people to take and listen to and bring back from one Sunday to another. They are for anyone housebound, missing on Sunday or wanting to re listen to a service. We envisage the cost of the MP3 players to be in the region of £30 each if anyone would like to give a donation towards the cost please give it to Julian.
Friendly Club things are moving for the good, we have one new member and there has been a Christmas Meal booked for November and we hope to start again in February.
Rev Linda Bishop is looking to start some membership classes in the autumn, if you are interested please give your name to either Julian or Linda.
Book Sale with Tea and Cakes at Antrobus Methodist Chapel, CW9 6JP on Sunday 11th August 2019 from 1:30 pm till 5:30 pm. Usual Evening service at 6:30 pm.
The next 3 streets/projects in the Latchford area are Surrey Street, Clarke Avenue and Christ Church
Please pray for everybody working on the growth plan for Latchford and all the hard work involved with this and the future of our church. Please pray for our Minister Linda as she guides us on this exciting path for the future life of our church here in Latchford and the wider community around us.
Minister: Revd. Linda Bishop
