News Stories for all Circuit ChurchesBears for Refugees
The pattern was very easy, so when she got home the Trinity Stitch and Chat group decided to make them and sell them for contributions towards the support of Ukrainian refugees. Glenice Weston from the group then invented a smaller version of the bears for use as key rings. So far the group have raised £280. Thank you to everyone who has supported them. Judith will happily supply the instructions to anyone who wants to try it for themselves, and provide a bear to look at, because that is the easiest way to explain! Judith Talbot Circuit Easter Walk to Cloud ChapelSheila and Alastair Beaton from Holmes Chapel took part in the Easter Monday Circuit walk over The Cloud to Cloud Chapel. (See the Event Notice.) This tradition could be revived this year, now that restrictions have been lifted.
Walking along the road to Cloud Chapel there were plenty of young lambs to watch in the fields and in one area there were lots of pens with a ewe and her offspring in each. These were very young lambs. Norman Alcock's Wing Walk
This sort of thing is becoming a habit for the man. For his 80th Birthday he flew in a hot air balloon. For his 85th he did a sponsored sky dive. Norman has a real passion to support the work of local children's hospices. Nowadays he supports the Douglas MacMillan Hospice (Dougie Mac) which incorporates the Donna Louise Hospice. He has been a volunteer at one or other of the hospices for many years. As a result of the wing walk he has now raised almost £6,000 for these amazing charities during the time he has been involved. Holmes Chapel Plant a Tree for the Jubilee
The Parish Council were delighted to be joined for this ceremonial occasion by representatives from the three local schools, community groups and churches, and our Ward Member Cllr Les Gilbert, who all helped to plant this special tree. Trinity Brownies at workDuring the first part of the year Trinity Brownies often had to meet on Zoom. This is still a little different from normal but allowed us to have meetings that would not have been possible in person.
We have worked to earn our baking badge which was a lot of fun - we made cakes and decorated them to illustrate a story (see photos of one home cook). We have also done crafts. |
