Welcome
In the wake of the resignation of Archbishop Justin Welby, please see this letter from The Bishop of Chester
We’re really glad you’re here!
We have three churches in our group and you’re welcome to join us at our regular worship at any of them.
United Benefice Reflective prayer is held every Tuesday morning at St Michael’s Church Marbury 9.30am tea, coffee and a space to rest in God. We welcome anyone to join in person, or you might want us to pray for you or someone dear to you. Prayers for someone can be left in any of our Churches.
