Venue

Address
Rosemary Lane Formby, L37 3HA, United Kingdom

On Saturday 9th May we plan to “Beat the Bounds” by walking part of our parish. We plan to meet outside St Stephen’s Church in Hightown at 9.15 and from there walk back to Formby on the path beside the railway. We will stop for coffee for about half an hour at Bill’s Field (off Ravenmeols Lane).

The second leg of the walk will take us from Bill’s Field at 11.30 through Little Altcar and Pinewood Park, across the bypass and along the New Causeway to St Michael’s church in Great Altcar where will stop for a picnic lunch.

The third leg of the walk will start from church at about 2pm and take us on a circular walk over the fields and back to church.
We warmly invite members from both St Michael’s and Holy Trinity to join us in celebrating Rogation. Anyone who would like to join us on one or more sections of the walk would be most welcome. Or you could just meet us at Bill’s Field or St Michael’s church.

Celebrations will continue Rogation Sunday, 10th May, with a service at 9.30am where we will offer prayers for the land and our farmers. Church will be open in the afternoon and there will be afternoon tea before the traditional evensong service at 4pm

Last year we had a joint service for the whole Benefice – Holy Trinity and St Michael’s to worship together. Many of you said you had enjoyed the opportunity and so I am planning for us to repeat it this year. This means there will be no service at St Michael’s that morning and only one service at Holy Trinity beginning at 10.30am. We will have cake and refreshment afterwards and a chat to chat with each other. Archdeacon Pete has agreed to come and preach so it will be interesting to hear what he has to say about The Trinity. Please make come along and make this a day of celebration and fellowship.
Thank you for continued support, Julie.
