Thanks to all those who organised or supported the Knit and Natter Autumn Fair, which raised £900 for Broughton House Veteran’s Care Home. The North West Military Vehicle Group, who attended, donated a further £500 to the Home. The building and car park were very busy and it was an event enjoyed by all as well as supporting the very worthy cause.
Ken Dean
We were very sorry to hear that our organist and committee member Ken Dean had passed away suddenly on September 16th following a very short stay in hospital.
His funeral was held on Monday 7th October and the family would like to thank all those who were able to attend in person for his very appropriate send-off or sent their good wishes.
Anniversary Service
The Anniversary Service held on Sunday 20th October will be slightly different this year.
We will be celebrating the 219th Anniversary of Stockport Sunday School.
As this year the Royal National Lifeboat Institution will be celebrating their 200th Anniversary and the Sunday School raised the money to buy a lifeboat for the RNLI in 1867, so we decided to combine the two Anniversaries and the main speaker at the service will be telling us about the work of the RNLI.
Autumn Fair
The Knit ‘N Natter group are holding an Autumn Fair on Tuesday October 22nd 1.30pm to 3.30pm, in aid of Broughton House Veteran’s Care Village in Salford. Beryl would be grateful for donations of cakes or raffle prizes for the event. There will be North West military vehicles on display and some of the veterans will be there in their uniforms.
Please bring family and friends along to support the fair.
Remembering Norman
On Sunday 6th October at 2.30pm, we will be holding a special service to remember and celebrate the life of our late friend and colleague, Norman Sellers.
We invite anyone who knew Norman to join us and his family to celebrate his life and work.
Harvest time
Our Annual Harvest Service will be held on Sunday 15th September 2024 when the visiting speaker will be Sheila Hulme.
Once again we will be sending our harvest gifts to Wellspring so we would appreciate Harvest gifts of dried or tinned food from all over the world that they can be stored until they are ready to use them.
