Welcome

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.

D-Day 80th Anniversary

Many will be commemorating the 80th Year Anniversary of the heroes of the Battle of Normandy!

We’ll be marking this special anniversary here in our own community by having a Ring for Peace at St Michael‘s in the evening at 6.30pm, and by lighting a Beacon on Wood Farm, Wirswall, the home of our Parish Council Chair Joe Briggs, at 9.15pm.

At St. Mary’s, the bell will be rung 80 times at 6.30 this evening to mark the 80th Anniversary.

It’s only right that we should remember those who gave their all to bring liberation and peace to France and Western Europe…

We remember the lives lost on all sides…war brings nothing but sadness and loss.

So let’s pray for God’s Peace to be known throughout the Nations of the World.

Amen x

 

Revd. Veronica

Hazel has been busy again, creating a wonderful D-Day commemorative exhibition in St Mary’s, ready for our 80th Anniversary commemoration .  It gives us an insight into the terrible experience that so many of our boys, some of them no more than teenagers, had to endure. 

Many of them didn’t come back.

Here are some photos to whet your appetite, but do come along to have a look, there’s so much to see.  Better still, come and join in our Commemorative Service at 11 am on Sunday June 2nd.  

On the anniversary of D-Day itself, 6th June, at 6.30pm, our lone church bell at St Mary’s will toll 80 times to join in the clamour from churches all over the nation. 

 

Be careful ! The barbed wire is real !!
