Day of Prayer
Friday, 26th November 9.30 a.m. – 2.30 p.m at Trinity Church,
Cheadle. An opportunity to pause and reflect with Art produced by Revd. Richard Lowson
during his sabbatical. Come for as long or as short a time as you can manage. The day will
commence and conclude with led prayers (at 9.30 & 2.15); the rest of the time is free for
you to use as you will. Combine your morning visit with Refreshments at Coffee Morning
Festive Wine Tasting 27 November – raincheck!
Unfortunately this event will have to be postponed. We apologise to all those who were
looking forward to attending and particularly if you had invited friends to come with you.
The event will be rescheduled for the spring/early summer and it will be open to both men
and women - we will let you know the date for your diaries as soon as possible.
Saturday Café
We wish to build up a team of volunteers to help with the Café on a monthly rota. Please
see Rob Walker if you wish to help. Next café 09.30 - 11.30 04 December. Please
remember that everyone, men and women, runners and non-runners are welcome.
Ladies Christmas Meal
Ladies please put Saturday 18 December in your diaries for this year’s
Christmas Meal in church. A Saturday was chosen to make it easier for
those who work during the week and then have to cook for families as
well as prepare/cook food to bring to the Ladies Meal, also the ladies
who bravely stay behind to clear up and tidy away don’t have to get up
early for work the next morning (just church!). A sign up sheet will be available nearer the
time.
St Cuthbert’s Christmas Lunch
As last year we will be serving a turkey lunch with all the trimmings after the service on
Christmas day. This is open to any-one. If you would like to help or attend or know some-
one who would like to come see Tricia or Julie.
St Cuthbert’s Houseparty
Please make a note in your diary and plan to join us at The Quinta for the weekend of 16 &
17 April next year. Theme is ‘Running on empty’ with speaker Steve Wilcockson. We
have booked extra spaces so that the maximum number will be able to attend.
CLC is now open Monday’s
Stockport Christian bookshop on Hillgate has now reverted to full six days a week trading.
It is well worth a visit.
Christmas Cards 2010
The "St Cuthbert's Silver Christmas Tree" will soon be up in the foyer again
for church-based Christmas cards. Instead of sending loads of cards to
church members, just put one on the silver tree to everyone, and put a
donation in the wooden box. We sent £120 to Bible-lands last year
supporting needy children in the Holy Land & would like to send even more this year.
CPAS You and Ministry weekend, Crewe, 11-13 February 2011
These events have a track record of helping people understand more about God’s call on
their lives and in particular in exploring a call to authorised ministry in the Church of
England. It is suitable for anyone considering a call to ministry, whether ordained, Church
Army or authorised lay ministry. Participants come at many different stages; some have
only just started to consider a call to ministry, whilst others have begun the selection
process. Whatever stage they’re at, anyone can benefit from the weekend’s unique blend of
fellowship, information, relaxation, Bible teaching, worship, listening, quiet and fun. If
appropriate many participants find it helpful to come with their spouse. If you are
interested, please speak – in confidence – to Mike as soon as possible
St Cuthbert’s
Old School
The final works on the
Old School building are
currently being
undertaken and we give
thanks for a vastly
improved facility made
possible by an SMBC
grant plus various other
sources of finance.
Shortly before or after
Christmas, we hope to
hold an open morning to
allow people to look
around.
