The Eagles Wing are a mutual support group for asylum seekers and local people in Bury, Lancashire.
They have drop-ins and support groups operated by volunteers throughout the week in a number of locations in the town.
St John & St Mark’s are very pleased to host the monthly Socials, which meet on the afternoon of the second Saturday.
At last! It’s April and finally Easter is here. The eggs started to appear in the shops almost as soon as January began. It has been a long haul!
I noticed in a certain large supermarket a notice reminding customers that Easter was on 21st April – and that was at the beginning of March.
They must have been worried that after nearly two months of eggs on the shelves customers would be getting concerned about sell-by dates and/or whether, after all this time, they might have missed Easter altogether!
Yep, it’s that time again. On Saturday April 6th we’ll be having another of our very popular Coffee Mornings with loads of pre-loved books.
This will be in the hall from 10am – 12.30pm.
There will be plenty of home-made cakes, bacon butties and thousands of books.
Here’s our March 2019 magazine.
The hard copy version is available in both our churches, St John and St Mark’s Bury and Christ Church Walmersley.
If you want to come and pick one up then we’d love to see you!
It includes news and views as well as prayers, reflections and what’s on. There’s a special piece on John Wesley and an advert at the end for our Lent Bible Studies
Many people live on their own and are looking for some company during the day. If there’s food involved then so much the better!
So, we asked the ladies and gents that lunch at Christ Church for some recommendations of where to go at lunchtime…
We’re returning to St Joseph’s Prayer Centre, Formby for our annual Retreat. This will be from Wednesday May 22nd to Friday May 24th 2019.
The Prayer Centre is in a really lovely position, close to both the sandy beach and the National Trust Forest. The break is a mix of time spent together, plenty of personal space and trips out in the local area.
If you’ve not been before then go on, give it a go!
