Christleton defibrillator

A shout out from Richard in our community about a defibrillator outside the Stute - thanks Richard.

We are grateful for this life saving equipment, and ask you to spread the word about its location on Village Road, Christleton, near the centre. 

I might need it myself when Liverpool win the league later this year!

12 noon Tuesday 21st Jan @ Rowton Methodists

12 noon Wednesday 22nd Jan @ St Peters, Waverton

12 noon Thursday 23rd Jan @ St James, Christleton

12 noon Friday 24th Jan @ Christleton Methodists

12 noon Saturday 25th Jan @ St Werburghs, Chester

7.00pm Sunday 26th Jan @ Christleton, Methodists


Everybody at St James' Church Christleton would like to say thankyou to all those who turned up to our Christmas Eve Carols around the Tree which was as popular as ever! There was mulled wine and mince pies afterwards! During the evening we collected for the Christian Aid Middle East Fund and the total raised was £608.55p.

Your help is so vital right now with the effects of the cold winter, hunger and disease, as it takes hold of the 2 million exhausted & displaced population. Gazans are sheltering in tents, under extremely dangerous building shells and some are even sleeping in the freezing cold open-air. Please follow the link below to get a clearer understanding about Christian Aid and their work under such heart-breaking circumstances.

Thankyou so much once again.

 


Christmas wreaths and decorations
 
Please remove all above items from graves by Friday 7th February.
 
After that date they will be removed by church volunteers.
