On Sunday evening, Feb 5th, Bishop Sam licensed Reverend Dr Lisa Redfern as our new Associate Minister.

Lisa lives in Sale and during the week is a Pediatrician in Manchester. For the last seven years she has been Curate at St Alban’s, Broadheath. She is married with two daughters and hopes to be able to develop our Forest Church initiative.

We welcome her to the St Paul’s family. The photo below shows her with Bishop Sam after the service.

St Paul’s are hosting the Vision Cafe in Stanley Square on Wed 8th Feb.

The PCC sent a beautiful bouquet of flowers to Carole to say thank you for all her hard work as chair of the social committee and organising the Santa’s grotto year on year. Many folks know that her husband Eric suffered a serious slip on ice which resulted in surgery and so Carole is taking a step back from church activities in order to care for him as he recuperates. 

The photo below shows Carole with the bouquet and her response was :

“The flowers are amazing.  It is so heartwarming to receive a card and flowers from people who I know care about me. I will really enjoy them. 

I hope that I will soon be back at church to join in the services.

Love C xxx”

Welcome to St Paul’s Babes & Tots, we are a long-running group based in Sale and we are glad to offer our support to those with pre-school children.

We meet every Tuesday morning in term time in St Paul’s Church Hall (on Springfield Rd) from 9.30am-11am.

We have free play, tea & toast and a story and song time. In the warmer months we enjoy going out to our lovely enclosed outdoor playing area where we can watch the ducks on the canal and the barges passing by. We often have crafts related to the theme of the story and we encourage children and families to join in the fun.

We charge a small donation towards our running costs and operate on a Pay As You Go basis.

Accessibility – we have lots of buggy parking space, disabled loo with baby change facilities and our own car-park. Many of our families have English as their second language, so please let us know if you’d like to be introduced to someone who may share your home language.

Also located in the Hall is the Pantry Shelves, a small food bank which is self-referral and we encourage anyone to pick up or donate items as and when needed. We keep a stock of nappies just in case.

Our volunteers are church members and have undertaken DBS checks and Basic Safeguarding training. Please contact Becky on 01612178795 for more info or just turn up.

The festival is now underway with a steady stream of visitors. As well as the sponsored decorated trees there are refreshments, live music and activities for children, including dressing up clothes so photos can be taken in front of a Bethlehem background.

The Slideshow below show some of the Christmas Trees and some of the activities including the Salvation Army Junior Brass Band.

The second Slideshow shows photos taken during the Carols in the Trees Service which concluded the Tree Festival.

A large congregation in a candlelit Church enjoyed carols, Choir carols, an instrumental performance and readings. After the service refreshments were served in the Hall.
