One of the most important dates in St Peter's Church fundraising calendar - Shrove Tuesday at the Swettenham Club.
Soup, ham or cheese baps and as many pancakes as you can eat...
Bring your family and friends. The bar will be open.

This evening, there will be a special Ash Wednesday service at the Church of St James and St Paul, Marton to which everyone is invited.

During the service, the minister will place ashes on each worshipper's forehead in the shape of a cross. The ceremony shows that a person belongs to Jesus Christ, and it also represents a person's grief and mourning for their sins — the same sins that Christians believe Jesus Christ gave his life for when he died on the cross.

Refreshments will be served after the service.

You are welcome to come and join us for coffee and company on the second Wednesday of each month in the Parish Hall.
There will be hot drinks, cakes, biscuits and chat in warm surroundings.
Free of charge.

Mothering Sunday, also known as Mothers' Day, is celebrated on the fourth Sunday in Lent. Traditionally, it is a day on which people visit the church they were baptised in and on which they honour their mother.
We invite you to come along to All Saints Church, Siddington for a service of music, prayers and readings to celebrate mothers everywhere. It will be led by members of the congregation.

At this service with music, prayers and readings, we remember and celebrate the triumphant procession of Christ into Jerusalem.

Easter is the most important festival in the Christian calendar. It celebrates Jesus rising from the dead, three days after he was executed. Christians believe that, through his resurrection, Jesus overcame death and sin. This offers people the promise of eternal life if they follow his teachings.
You are invited to come to this joyous communion service on Easter Sunday to celebrate Jesus rising from death to move among us again.

For this year's spring event, the committee has decided to try something different for the village - A Cheshire Rural Touring Arts (CRTA) event.
The association aims to represent a diverse programme of high-quality arts entertainment for all tastes and ages, including live theatre, literature, music and dance, in Cheshire's rural venues.
They have been fortunate enough to secure a booking for Robin Ince, who will, no doubt, be well-known to many of you.
Robin Ince, award-winning broadcaster and comedian, is best-known as the co-presenter of the multi-award-winning Radio 4 science show "The Infinite Monkey Cage". He recently wrote and presented "Writing the Universe", and a four-part solo stand-up series "Reality Tunnel". He has performed across the world from Reykjavic to Dunedin, LA to Sophia and won many awards for his shows including Time Out's outstanding achievement in comedy award. His books include "I'm a joke and so are you", "Bibliomaniac", "The Importance of Being Interested". In 2022, he won the Author of the Year from the Bookseller Association. His next book is about neurodivergence - "Normally Weird ... Weirdly Normal", followed by his first collection of poetry, "Ice cream for a Broken Tooth".
For over thirty years, Robin has entertained thousands in person and on air. But underneath the surface, a whirlwind was at play - a struggle with sadness, concentration, self-doubt and near-constant anxiety. But then he discovered he had all the hallmarks of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and his stumbling blocks became stepping stones.
His show is entitled "The Universe and Neurodiverse" and seeks to look at things a bit differently. What is being a bit weird is actually normal? What if sharing our internal struggles isn't a sign of weakness, but strength?
This promises to be an extremely entertaining evening, so do put the date in your diary and more details about tickets will follow.

Come and join us for a fun, outdoor telling of the Christmas story. Gather from 4pm for a 4:40pm start.
We will have a few readings and scenes in a number of locations around the church and in the barn along with singing carols as well.
It will be cold, so wrap up. Wellies are optional but the ground is usually damp underfoot.
We also have mulled wine and mince pies afterwards as well.

Our much-loved, and generally chaotic building of the crib as Christmas night begins to fall. Well-loved carols and costumes for any children happy to participate.
All are welcome.

A gathering for all our villages on Christmas morn. A short, relaxed and fun celebration of the day!
A short communion service will follow for those who wish to stay.
