The display below has been set up in the Church porch to commemorate Armed Forces Day.

St Pauls church will be open  on Wednesdays from  5. 30  – 7 30 pm

And on  Sunday afternoons  2-4 pm

For  Private Prayer

Services will continue to be live streamed at the usual service times.

Rev Barbara  will be in the church  grounds between 1 and 3 pm on Saturday if anyone wants to come and say hello.

It would be helpful if those who come by car  could  bring their  own chair to sit on.

We will not at this time be able to meet in a group larger than 6 so may need to have separate groups at a good  distance from each other.

Dear friends.
I have been reminded that the dated envelopes for giving will run out soon , the new ones which start in July have arrived and are available from Brian Kerridge .   You can either make contact with Brian or with me to arrange to either collect them or to have them delivered to you .  Our giving has been very low at this time and we are not getting our usual level of church hall rents. So any donations towards our finances would be most gratefully received .
Rev Barbara

PS Are you aware that an alternative to the Envelope scheme is to give via monthly standing order? Not only does this ensure the Church gets a steady flow of income but also prevents handling of cash when the Church is able to reopen.

A memorial has been placed at the door of the Church in memory of the events of May 22nd 2017.The photos below show this.

For those with a printer perhaps you could print the poster below, colour it in and put it in a window on Friday 22nd May. There is a link to a PDF version here :- Remember220517.JPG

Christian Aid Week 2020 began on Sunday 10th May. The letter below has been sent to all churches in Sale.

From Chris Boyes – Christian Aid Week – Co-ordinator – Sale Group of Churches

In 2020 Christian Aid more than ever needs your support to be able to continue its project work for the most vulnerable in the countries in which it is currently operating.

There can be no house-to-house collection in 2020 however donations can still be made direct to Christian Aid at  https://www.christianaid.org.uk/

And you can also create a Christian Aid e-Envelope which you can send to your friends and family and post on Social Media to widen the appeal further for funds at a time when they have never more been needed.

To do this go to  https://envelope.christianaid.org.uk/add-message

And on the Christian Aid Website and most especially their Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/christianaid/ and Twitter feeds https://twitter.com/christian_aid

you can find loads more information about the work of Christian Aid and about other resources available now including a link to an online service being streamed today at 1 pm and available afterwards via YouTube

I do hope you will be able to offer your support in some way in 2020

Many,  many  thanks

Chris
