A big thanks to all who attended and who helped in any way at the Messy Church Picnic on the Beach session at St James’ Church, Acton Trussell on 8th August. The sun shone and we had a happy time with our ‘beach’ themed and fishy story and activities. After the parachute games we shared a lovely picnic round the ‘campfire’ in the churchyard and those who attended left looking forward to the next Messy Church session.By the way please save the date for the Christingle at St James, Acton Trussell on 24th December at 2pm.
At the Patronal Service at St James‘ Church, Acton Trussell on 27th July 2025, on the occasion of his 90th birthday and to recognise his decades of devoted service to St James’ Church, a certificate was presented to Len Bates BEM. This recorded that Leonard Arthur Bates BEM is granted the title Church Warden Emeritus of St James’ Church, Acton Trussell. The congregation along with Len, Rev Delphine Howarth and Rev Dr David Primrose celebrated with cakes and refreshments after the service.
Our next session of Messy Church is on Friday 8th August starting at 2pm until 4pm at St James’ Church Lower Penkridge Road, Acton Trussell ST17 0RJ.We’ll be thinking about picnics on the beach- sounds good, so book your place very soon (details on the flyer). Best to wear play clothes as we hope to be outside part of the time. As usual children to be accompanied by an adult and grandparents are especially welcome as it is a working day for some.Here’s to a fun session with picnic snacks at the end- hope to see you on Friday 8th Aug.
