UPDATE 27TH NOV 2016:

Thanks to everyone who came and supported this event - we raised £750 to support The Wellspring! If you would like to see photos from the day, they are now available online on our Flickr page:

There will be a mini Christmas Fair in aid of The Wellspring, Stockport in the Parish Centre next Sunday. You will be able to buy Christmas gifts, decorations, books, handmade crafts, cakes.

Please come and support the event!

The annual parish Posada at St Peter's Church begins on Sunday 27th November.

Our Parish Posada is becoming one of our Advent traditions at St Peter's Church. It is a lovely way to celebrate the Advent season, and get to know other people in our community.

If you would like to take part, please just sign up! Everyone is welcome and encouraged to join in - the more the merrier! Why not invite lots of friends and family to your house when it is your turn? It is a great reason to have a festive gathering.

This year's rota is available here but please get in touch with Maria Oates, Rachel Mckay or Teresa Thiele for more information.

As we begin this Advent season, please read Bishop Mark's letter:

This year we are pleased to support the work of Retrak as our Advent Project.

Retrak reaches out to the children who have been forgotten by their communities, children who have no one else to turn to.

Our work and research provides a beginning-to-end approach for street children and the wider-community, that improves their lives. We support these amazing children as they reintegrate back into their families and communities…back to being children again.

Retrak: No child forced to live on the street
