SAFEGUARDING

On 12th November Archbishop Justin Welby resigned in response to the Makin Report on the child abuser John Smyth. At this time we in Whaley Bridge express our prayerful solidarity with all those who have been harmed and hurt, and reaffirm our commitment to safeguarding as a central feature of the life of our parish. If you have any questions about safeguarding in our parish church, please contact our Parish Safeguarding Officer Gill Thompson - details at the foot of the page.

GOODBYE TO REVD FRANCES

Revd Frances Eccleston is retiring from parish ministry on 5th January, which will be her final service. Do join us the as we bid farewell to Frances and Steve in Holy Trinity at 10.30 - lunch to follow. The role of Vicar will then be advertised and we hope for a successor to be appointed. Please pray for our parish at this time of transition!

PRAYERS OF LOVE AND FAITH

At the PCC meeting in October, the Church Council commended the use of Prayers of Love and Faith. This provides for same sex couples to give thanks in church following a wedding or civil partnership in a registry office. These prayers are used as part of a regular service - the C of E does not allow us to offer a stand-alone service. For enquiries please contact the Vicar/the parish office.
