Lots of fun at the Summer Fayre, with the warm weather shining on us! Big thank yous to everyone who helped in any way, to set up stalls, run them, help to tidy or with the lovely music ... and thank you to all the lovely people who came and made it a wonderful day
St Bertelin's is now part of the national "Places of Welcome" network, which offers people somewhere to go for conversation and a cup of tea every week. We shall be here Thursday morning between 10 and 12, offering a warm welcome, free refreshments and a chance to meet others.
Enthusiastic walkers from St Bertelin's are planning to step out around Tittesworth Water, near Leek, on 28th March, along with people from around the region who are walking to raise money for Christian Aid.It is the 30th year of this popular fund-raising event, and every penny raised will go directly to Christian Aid to be used in helping the world's poorest people.The walk will set off from the Visitor Centre at 10.30am, blessed on their way boy the Bishop of Lichfield and the Lord Mayor of Stoke on Trent. Walkers can opt for a shorter distance of 2 miles, or a longer distance of 5 miles around the reservoir. Many people will be wearing Easter Bonnets as they walk. You can support us in various ways - sponsor us, or come and cheer us on (there is an excellent Visitor Centre at Tittesworth!), or make a donation to Christian Aid.
