Our annual Carols by Candlelight was held on Sunday evening, Dec 17th.
After a full service of readings and carols mulled wine and mince pies were available in the church hall. As well as the organ, carols were accompanied with flutes, violins, cellos and piano.
The Church has been decorated with numerous Christmas trees, each depicting the activities of a Church group. These are in the side window alcoves.
The main Christmas tree has now been erected and the photos below show them in advance of the Toy Service on Dec 10th.
St Paul’s Brownies helped to entertain the people at Sale Waterside as people waited for the Christmas lights switch on. They did well despite the noise level around.
At the morning service on Nov 26th we were honoured to be joined by the Lord Bishop of Chester, Dr Peter Forster, who led us in worship

On the morning of November 4th the Vicar and around 20 members of the congregation attended a Fire Safety Training course. As well as an in-depth coverage of the various types of fires and their causes, the types of Fire Extinguishers for particular circumstances were described. Some of these extinguishers were then demonstrated in the Church Hall car park as shown in the slideshow below.
