Service of Remembering and Sharing – Sat 5th March @ 2:30pm

Posted on: by:

Dear Friend
You are invited to a Service of Remembering and Sharing.
On: Saturday, March 5th 2016 at 2.30pm at St Mary’s Wilshaw
It is for parents who have suffered the loss of a child of any age and from any cause.
Siblings, grandparents, family and friends are also welcome.
We welcome people from all faiths or none, and any-one who has lost a child, whether it was yesterday or many years ago.
The service will give you the opportunity to stand alongside other people ‘who know’ the pain of losing a child, and want to publicly acknowledge and remember our lost children.
The service will include a short message of hope from clergy and stories or poems from people who have suffered the loss of a child.
Regardless of your faith or belief, we hope this will bring you some peace.
If you wish, bring a flower to place during the service in memory of your loved one.
For more information contact Jacqueline on 01484 663867

 

 

Men’s Night with Rev’d Kevin Partington – Friday 11th March – 7:30pm

Posted on: by:

 

Rev Kevin Partington will be speaking at the next Men’s Night.

He’s a former business man who was called out of business into the Ministry. He will be talking about what made him take this step – and then what life was like as the Vicar of Dewsbury Minster with all the pressures that came with that role in that place! Clinton’s known Kevin years – I first met him before he became a Vicar. He’s a good lad and worth hearing.

 

Jean is making meat and potato pie – and we need numbers.

Put it in your diary and let Nigel Priestley know if you’ll be there!

Start December with Ale Talk!

We know what God’s love is like! Or think we might!

As we start the run up to Christmas at AleTalk on Tuesday 1st December at the Waggon we are looking at “Love” at 7.30

We have had lively discussions on Vulnerability and Courage – and last time Alistair Storey showed his courage by singing to us- so how would we answer the question “I love when I…?”

Join us and share your thoughts, ideas and answers!

PS Don’t forget Carols in the Pub on Friday at 8.30 and Carols in the Park on Sunday at 4.00 – please let Nigel Priestley know if you can steward or help in any way.
