140th Anniversary Service

Next Sunday, June 25th, we are holding a special Choral Evensong at 3:30pm to celebrate our 140th Anniversary. The Service will be followed by afternoon tea and details are shown below.

Organ Recital by Jonathan Scott

As part of our 140th Anniversary celebrations an Organ Recital was held in Church on the afternoon of June 10th. Jonathan is well known as an international performer, arranger and a really wonderful ambassador for the organ. The photos below show Jonathan with Anne, our Director of Music, and the screen erected to show Jonathan at the keyboard.

The event was a great success and raised a substantial amount for the Organ Fund.

Whit Sunday Service

The annual Pentecost service organised by Churches together in Sale was hosted by St Paul’s this year.

On a lovely spring afternoon about 200 people attended on the Canal bank beside the Church and the music was led by the Salvation Army Band and as well as congregation hymns there were special songs by the Churches Together Pop-up Choir.

The homily was given by Revd Richard from the Avenue Methodist Church and afternoon tea refreshments were provided by St Paul’s.

The slideshow below shows photos taken during the event and the service sheet is shown after the photos.

Coronation Preparations and Morning Service

On Sunday 7th May after our 10am morning service please stay for refreshments after the service in the Church Hall which will include cutting a special Coronation cake and a glass of something fizzy for the royal toast.

The photos below show preparations for the Coronation are underway.

Easter Sunday

During the Easter Sunday service the congregation were invited to add flowers to the Easter cross and to wave to Frank and viewers in India who were watching the live stream. After the service there was a visit from a familiar friend.

The photos below were taken on the day and during the following week when the Easter Cross was hung outside the Church – although it suffered some wind damage.
