THE ANNUAL All Saints Big Breakfast for Christian Aid takes place on Saturday February 29th in All Saints school, 9-30am to 11am. This popular event is open to all, with food provided by Fur Klemt, the Wigan food charity, and a number of organisations represented on the day including Christian Aid, Edible Appley Bridge, Traidcraft, the RSPB and The Brick, Wigan’s homeless project. The breakfast this year will be raising funds for farming communities in Malawi to help the planting of a special crop, Pigeon Peas, as a more robust replacement for Maize, which is susceptible to failure in increasingly dry conditions. It’s pay on the door, adults £4-00 and under 16s £2-50.

APPLEY BRIDGE Churches Together, a joint project by the Vale Methodist Church, All Saints C of E Church and St Joseph’s Catholic Church, is sponsoring a pea growing project for the three primary schools in the catchment area, Shevington Vale, St Joseph’s and All Saints. Children are being supplied with pots and pea seeds to grow pea plants as part of the drive to share the importance of growing sustainable crops in Malawi.

NEW SERVICE times have been agreed by the All Saints parochial church council. Sunday morning communion and lay led services will start at 10-15am, and the increasingly popular Family Time service will start at 9am. Please see the church website for more details of services at All Saints. www.allsaintschurch.co.uk.

Everyone is welcome: bring any kind of handicraft along, and join the group for an informal, chatty, crafty time. Help and assistance is available, but members don’t need to be skilled already. £1 per meeting, with 50p for refreshments. See the website for more details.
