  This week we welcomed Reverend Gareth to share with us stories from the Bible. It was fascinating joining together to be able to hear of the story of Jesus and how he was resurrected. Reverend Gareth brings such humour, warmth and knowledge to help us to understand more about Christianity.

• The Little Princess Trust

  Mon 15 Apr 2024 Kate Long

  We are so proud of our Izzy! Izzy has, for the second time, donated her long hair to the Little Princess Trust. This wonderful charity provides wigs for children who are sick and have lost their own hair. It is a hugely kind and generous act to cut off your hair to help others. What a superstar!

  

• Dogs Trust and Ellesmere Rotary

  Ellesmere Dog-Good-Ery Charity Fund Raiser.

   

  It was wonderful today to join with the Smith family as part of their wonderful charity event  a walk around Colemere to raise funds for Dogs Trust.

   

  Family, friends, parents and pupils gathered on Saturday 6th April @11am as part of Ava's project to raise money as part of both Ellesemere Rotary Club and Dogs Trust.

   

  It is wonderful to see how one idea, by one person can truly make a huge difference. Mrs Smith shared with me today the excitement and enthusiasm that had been displayed by her daughter Ava and also the wonderful support by the Dogs Trust Charity who supplied dog bandanas, stickers and pin badges. To date a staggering £600+ has been raised. Thank you to all those who attended today and also supported this worthy charity. If you would like to donate please follow the link below

• Good Friday at St. Matthews Church

  Fri 29 Mar 2024 Easter Crafts

  Good Friday Celebrations.

  It was wonderful to meet with our families and local community ar St. Matthew’s Church. With crafts, drinks, food and activities there was something for everyone to do. Perhaps the most poignant event was walking together along the lane and carrying a large cross. The cross was then placed at Hill Park where we gathered for our Holy Service. Thank you to all those who attended and made today a special event.
