Here’s our April 2020 magazine.
Obviously with Covid-19 and all the restrictions, the magazine is a bit different to normal. There’s not much ‘what’s on’ to tell you about! But it does give us more space for reflections and prayer. There are also suggestions for worship from home.
But with all that’s going on, let’s not forget it’s Easter!
It’s our 250th church anniversary coming up in June and we’ve been asking for memorabilia.
One of the gems is a St John’s Church Bury Parish Magazine from April 1968.
Amongst the adverts for Brian’s Chippy on Argyle Street and Cunnane’s ‘high-class fish, fruit, poultry and vegetables and fresh flower shop’ on Malvern Avenue, we have some very revealing letters and editorials uncovering what church life was like here 52 years ago.
Here’s our March 2020 church magazine.
There are thoughts about Lent and Mothering Sunday plus more on the upcoming 250th celebrations for St John’s. Also lots of news and views from our various groups as well as this letter from our Reader Emeritus Margery Spencer…
Here’s our February 2020 magazine. There’s news and views plus articles on Lent. This year Lent starts on 26 February.
