Churches Together at St Paul’s

The event was held on the canal bank and started a few minute late as more chairs had to be found due to the numbers attending. Hymns were sung (for the first time for over a year) to the accompaniment of the Sale Salvation Army Band. Afterwards refreshments were served in the Church grounds.

The slideshow below shows photos taken during the afternoon.

Frank’s 100th

After the morning service on 25th July the usual refreshments event included Frank Tolley cutting a cake to mark his 100th birthday the previous week. Frank said he was continuing volunteering at the Imperial War Museum North and also paid tribute to those in the RAF who took part in Operation Manna supplying food to the starving in the Netherlands in 1945. Frank has always been proud of his involvement in this exercise.

It is envisaged that the Reverend Mathew will be Inducted in November. As we prepare to welcome the Reverend Mathew and her family, we pray that she will enjoy a long and fruitful ministry here at St Paul’s.

Services update

As we are now in a Vacancy all services are subject to change at the last minute.

Following a Ministry Team meeting with the Rural Dean during the week it has been decided to temporarily cease the 8:30am BCP Communion on Sundays and only do the Thursday BCP Communion Service on the last Thursday of the month.
