The flag at St. Paul’s Parish Church, Sale today flies at half-mast in honour of Captain Sir Tom Moore as we give thanks for his life and example of kindness, humanity and care.

It has been reluctantly decided to immediately suspend public worship due to the continued local increases in the rates of infection of the Covid-19 virus until the end of February and for this to be reviewed in mid February.

The Church will be open between 2pm and 4pm on Sunday afternoons for private prayer.

We will continue to endeavour to live stream from church wherever possible.

Please see the poster for our Christmas services at the link below :-

The slideshow below was taken during the Carol Service on Dec 20th.

They show the choir in position before the service, the Christmas Trees and the crib lit up outside the Church and the moon beyond the tower.

The next Community Choir will be on Friday 18^th at 2 pm. Starting next year there will be one Community Choir  singalong online  each month with the date to be announced.

Words for the songs for the Dec 18th meeting are on the link below.

Because this year is so different at Christmas we have decorated the outside of the church with Christmas Trees and our Crib. All are welcome to walk past these on the way to the canal bank.

The photos below were taken following the set up on Dec 12th.

The photo below shows the blessing of the trees during the Sunday morning service on Dec 13th.

To all at St Paul’s

Wishing you peace, love, joy and every blessing for Christmas and the New Year.

This message from Heather Henry has been sent to the Churches Together in Sale

I am writing to let you know that I have relaunched my programme to encourage the whole community to keep the children of Sale who have asthma safe and well, by sharing basic asthma knowledge. This will be helpful for the faith community in Sale to help children’s overall wellbeing.

Information can be found on the poster below.

I would like to wish all at St Paul’s a very happy Christmas and that 2021 will be a much better year than 2020.

Keep safe and stay well

Best wishes

Clive
