to know, grow and show the love of God
On Saturday 14th December, Eagles Wing had their Christmas Party at our church hall and the letter below is from their co-ordinator Sue Arnall…
“Solidarity had a wonderful Christmas Party, thanks to funding from Autotrader and Forever Manchester, the kindness of St John & St Mark’s Church and the amazing hard work of 20 volunteers!”
In this bumper Christmas issue we have details of all the many services and events that we have going on.
There’s a letter from Dave, about God “mucking in” with us.
There are also appeals to help those who are homeless and some reflections on Advent, Christmas and Epiphany.
Here our details for our Advent & Christmas activities and services this year at St John with St Mark’s, Bury and Christ Church, Walmersley.
From Bible Studies to Brass Bands, Christingles to Carols.
