LIVING FAITH

The Diocesan Discipleship Course will run for 23/24 from September 13th, at 7pm in the Lady Chapel. It is three terms of 8 weeks.

It follows the church year so enhances what we are hearing about on a Sunday.   No essays!

Plenty of opportunity to discuss the issues, from creation to the Trinity via incarnation and

salvation!  For anyone and everyone.

For further details, please chat to Rev’d Alison, Rev’d Ben or leave your details with the Parish Office and we will get back to you.

The Well Foodbank update 

Following my previous request for food items/toiletries/household cleaners etc because of the urgent need for them for individuals and families throughout Wolverhampton and then to be greeted with a full trolley was fantastic - every item went immediately out so a sincere thank you everyone. Sadly the need for food donations is desperate in our town, we are not the only foodbank crying out for help so whatever contribution you can make will be greatly appreciated. Our local supermarkets do support us and for that we are grateful - if you would like to see how we operate or you might like someone to speak to your group then please contact me.

We would appreciate all sorts of cakes please for the Festival both large and small both to sell and to use for refreshments. If you are able to help please contact Margaret Mottram on 07495 159635 or Anne Edwards 337478.
