Rev Sue’s address to the APCM
Our APCM was held on Sunday 28 April, and many reports were presented to that meeting. Here is Rev Sue’s address to the APCM:
I want to talk about this last year, but I don’t want it to be just a list of all that we have done because that doesn’t get to the heart of things. Also, it would look much like the list of things we did the year before. But you see, that’s the whole point. Because the…

Give a Little
What are these graphics that have appeared on our weekly service sheets over the past few weeks? It’s a QR code. QR codes are clever bits of technology – a bit like bar codes – that link the real world with the online world. Those of us comfortable with using smartphones can simply point the camera at the QR code, and it will open a website (which is specific to a particular QR code). In this…

Trinity Sunday Reflection
Rev Steve gave us this reflection during the 9:45 service at St Margaret’s on Trinity Sunday, 26 May. Here it is for you again:
Think, for a moment, when someone significant in your life was born – maybe your first child or your first brother or sister, your first grandchild or your first niece or nephew.
The day after my first child was born, I remember the moment I presented myself to the…

Love Leadeth Me (Chris O’Hara)
This article first appeared in the June 2021 edition of our parish magazine. Here it is for you again.
The liturgical theme for the fourth Sunday of Easter is always “the Good Shepherd” – who is of course Jesus. There are many references in the gospels of Jesus likening himself to the shepherd of a flock (in which we are the sheep), and of course there is the famous parable of the Lost Sheep. On…

Pentecost 2024
Rev Steve preached this sermon on Sunday 19 May at St Margaret’s. Here it is for you to read again:
How do you get up in the morning?
I used to get up at 4.30 on a Sunday morning to get into a local radio station for 5.30, ready to present a religious breakfast show that I was also responsible for producing. I did this for eight years. So it was important for me to have an early waking-up…

Foxhill Retreat
This year’s parish retreat to Foxhill was a first for Andrew and Becky Ginn. Here are their reflections.
On Wednesday 11th April fifteen retreatants set off for Foxhill House at Frodsham, Cheshire, a retreat centre owned by the Diocese of Chester. Foxhill is the former home of the Pilkington family (the tile manufacturers) and is a mansion house set in 70 acres of lawns and woodlands.

Vicar's June letter to the parish
Dear friends,
Thank you for such a warm welcome. It’s good to be with you as your Vicar, having been a Neighbour for 23 years and an Assistant Curate for 14!
It’s high time I introduced myself. I’m the eldest child of a Church of England priest, Dick Williams, now 93, who hit the headlines in the 1960s for translating the Gospels into Scouse. He then became the UK’s first ever Diocesan…

The Holy Spirit
Our Reader Christine preached this sermon on 12 May 2024 – the Sunday between Ascension Day and Pentecost. Here it is for you to meditate on again:
Today is the Sunday after Ascension Day, and I felt that Acts 1:15-17 & 21-26 which is actually sometime after Pentecost so it’s before we actually celebrate that special day next week. However, I feel this particular passage explains a bit about how…

Gloria
This article was written for the April 2024 issue of our parish magazine:
Lent is over, we have celebrated the resurrection of our Lord, and the Easter season is in full swing. Thus it makes perfect sense to continue my series on Communion Settings with the Gloria.
The Gloria is a celebratory statement of love and worship, usually sung (in the UK) in Latin or English:
Glory to God in the…

Love one another as I love you
Rev Helen preached this sermon on Sunday 5 May. Here it is for you again:
I want you to think about those you love, your friends, the people who are closest to you. What sort of friends do you have, who is your oldest friend, who do you feel closest to. Now just think about this, how like you are they? Even those who you admire, are they like you, do you make them like you? Now I want you to…

All you ever wanted to know about the parish system…
Dear friends
I’m writing this the day after Rev Steve’s welcoming service – he now finds himself the incumbent of two parishes and three churches. We have a tendency in church to use a lot of churchy words that mystify anyone who has never been involved with church leadership, so let me do a bit of explaining. Wherever you live in England you belong to a parish, and you have the right to expect…
