We are currently looking for a new vicar to lead our churches forward. Our parishes have worked together to produce a profile document which introduces the Rural Daneside Churches. It is available on the Diocese of Chester's vacancies page.In the meantime, we are working to ensure that we have as many of our usual services as possible across the church group. Please go to an individual church's Services and Events page to check.
If you have any names that you would like to be placed on the weekly pew sheet's prayer list, please would you email rural.daneside@gmail.com or leave a message on the vicarage answerphone on 01260 224447. It would be helpful if you could let us know which church you are with.It would also be very helpful if you could let us know when the name can be taken off the list. Thank you.

Help is needed please, to keep our lovely old churchyard at Siddington looking fabulous. We need to keep the setting for our 500+ year old church in its pristine condition as always. Mowing and general tidying, to have the approach and surrounds attractive, is all required. A few hours to aid the current team is now necessary.If you feel able to help, please contact Andrew Venables on 01260 224214.
