to know, grow and show the love of God
Our next Sunday@Seven service is July 28th. The theme this time is ‘It’s Summer…let’s sing!’
We shall be singing some of our favourite songs and hymns. Please let Nigel know, either directly, or via the contact page, which ones you like.
As a one-off, we’ll be meeting in the church at Christ Church, rather than in the hall.
Attached is our Benefice of Walmersley Road July and August 2019 magazine.
It’s a bumper edition so grab a brew and find a comfortable chair…
Alongside all the normal news, views and ‘what’s on’, you’ll find an article on Spring Harvest with Archbishop Sentamu’s challenge for 2020.
Here are the Bible readings for July 2019 which we’ll be using in church.
If you want to read up in advance – or if you can’t be with us and want to follow the same readings then here you go!
This month’s scriptures include the Hospitality of Abraham & Sarah, The Samaritan and the Lord’s Prayer.
A small group from St John with St Mark joined the well attended Prayers for Peace service at the Ukrainian Church on June 23rd, 2019.
Tens of thousands have died in the conflict with many more displaced from their homes.
The situation in Ukraine is a sombre one. But this was a wonderful service with representatives from different Christian traditions and nationalities. The hymns were in English and Ukrainian as we worshiped together surrounded by Eastern Orthodox paintings and icons.

There will also be a link to a podcast featuring local people who have an insight to share.
St John with St Mark School has been chosen by Tesco Bury this month as one of their projects in their Bags of Help scheme.
If they get the most tokens then they will receive £4000 towards improvements to their Early Years Outdoor Playground.
Please support the school by asking for your blue tokens when you shop – and put it in their collection box.
