Benefice Bulletin, The Third Sunday of Epiphany, 23rd January 2022

Dear Brothers and Sisters

No advice from the National Church so far as to what they suggest we do from next week once we return to ‘plan A’. As soon as advice comes out I will let you know.

As I move on in mid-February, this bulletin will cease as of 6 February. Services will continue to be published in the Benefice magazine and on our web sites.

The funeral of Mrs Cheryl McDonald will take place at St. Helen’s Denton on Thursday 3rd February at 11am.

Please remember in your prayers: All Christian communities particularly those in the Middle East where they are in danger of disappearing. All  working or volunteering in the NHS, especially those who are feeling overwhelmed.  The homeless and those who cannot feed their families. Our friends and neighbours and all who live in this Benefice. For all those coming towards the end of their lives and those coming to terms with difficult diagnoses. The sick, and the dying, and those who care for them. For the families and friends of Stephen Smith, Frank Wade and Cheryl McDonald and for all those who mourn the loss of someone they love.

God bless you all.   

Stephen
