Our Church Celebration of 125 years of witness in Latchford.
On Saturday 12th October the Church will be open from 11:00am to 4:00pm, with an exhibition of photography – past, present and future, flower displays and various kinds of music throughout the day. There will be refreshments for people to come and share our celebrations with us. We will need people to steward in the Church during these times. We also need people to bake cakes or donate bought cakes both for the refreshments, but we would also like a further 250 small cakes to give out in the village and the houses near Church. We will also need help in the kitchen throughout the day. There is a sheet on the pulpit table for anyone who can help with any of these things to put your name down, what time you can steward or help in the kitchen and how long for. If you need any more information, please see Jean. Please can you help with our special weekend?
There is a thank you letter from the Historical Cheshire Churches Preservation Trust on the notice board to those who took part in the ride and stride last Saturday (14th).

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.
