The Season of Creation
The period from September 1st to October 4th is the Season of Creation. We are asked to pray for our world, for the various climate conferences that are happening at this time and that real changes can be made.
We should also look at what we do individually. What can I do that makes a difference? Can I walk instead of using the car? Can I produce less waste?
Perhaps start with something simple and try to keep it up for the full period - it will then become a habit you can continue.
Pray, and ask God to show you how you can make a difference. If every one of us makes a small change the cumulative effect is huge!
A new Alpha Course starts 4th October
A new Alpha course will start via video conference from October 4th at 7:30pm.

IS THERE MORE TO YOUR LIFE THAN THIS?
Questions, questions everywhere but not a space to think?
If you’ve got questions, you’re not alone. Alpha is a space where you get together with others, online, to watch a series of short episodes covering some of the big questions around the Christian faith such as Who is Jesus? How and why do people pray? and What’s the meaning of life? – and then have a chat about it.
You’re Invited.
#TryAlphaOnline
Come and see.
St Mary’s Middlewich and Holmes Chapel are running ALPHA for you. Starting in the Autumn and running online over Zoom, come and discuss the big questions of life from the comfort of your own home, just bring a brew!
Open to everyone from any background and any place. No judgements, no teaching, just come, listen and share with others who have questions like you.
You’re invited to come along for the first session and see what you think. Just drop us an email to say you’re interested and what days and times suit you best to Chris at: stmarysmiddlewichevents@gmail.com
