Other Notices
Our Church Family Please keep in your prayers those of our church family who have been ill recently, as well as others who are ill or troubled whose problems may or may not be known to us.
Please contact Ruthie for any special birthdays, anniversaries or other events affecting anyone in our Church family for inclusion in the notices. If you have any other information that you would like included, please email Ruthie (alukundo@gmail.com), who will happily oblige.
MeMO Trailer. Sadly, Kirsty Barrett, Lay Worker, who was originally appointed to work with the trailer, has decided that this post is not for her.
“The Vine”. The Circuit subscribes annually to this publication which is emailed to those who have requested it on a weekly basis. It provides useful resources to those preparing services and for anyone who appreciates guidance in their private devotions. If you wish to be added to the email list, please advise David Eccleshall on dee.smcircuit@gmail.com.
Parents & Toddlers (including babies). For two hours on a Tuesday morning mothers can bring their toddlers to the schoolroom for the children to play and have a snack, and for mothers to meet each other and have a hot drink. This is Mere’s Edge church’s outreach into the community, and apparently is the only such group in Ellesmere so serves an important function. The group has finished for the summer but begins again in September. If anyone from our group of churches is able to offer a couple of hours to help, maybe only once a month, it would be greatly appreciated. Please speak to Gill Cartwright.
Facebook. You can follow us on Facebook: “Ellesmere Methodist Church“, “Shropshire and Marches” and for the mobile outreach trailer “Memo Shropshire”.
Please inform others of the content of these notices if they are not able to attend church.
