St Andrew's, Dearnley

St Andrew's, Dearnley and Smithy Bridge

A final reminder that, starting this Sunday, 8 September, our Sung Eucharist service starts half an hour earlier than usual at 9.30am and will remain so for the foreseeable future.

While building work is going on at the back of church in the vicinity of the parish room - all part of our ambitious Wider Welcome project - infant church for under-5s will take place in the choir vestry, while older children will remain in church.

In the absence of our priest-in-charge, the Rev Canon Sharon Jones, who was celebrating the Holy Eucharist elsewhere, we welcomed Fr Luke Maguire, curate at St Thomas, Pendleton to church last Sunday.

Non-members will be warmly welcomed to our Mothers' Union meeting next Monday, September 9, at which we will have a speaker from the charity 'Heartbeat'.

Tuesday Bible Study resumes the following night at Angie and Maureen's house in Wardle Road, starting at 7.30pm.

Anyone attending the Deanery Quiet Day from 10am to 4pm this Saturday, September 7, at the Schoenstatt Shrine in Kearsley, led by Archdeacon Cherry Vann, is asked to meet outside the vicarage at 9.30am.

Diary date --- our Harvest Thanksgiving will be held on September 22.
