New Kitchen and Disabled Toilet Completed!
We are thrilled to announce that the first brew has been served from our new kitchen! Our new disabled toilet has also been completed. Both big projects were completed in June. We are now equipped for 2018...and beyond. Thanks to all who made this possible...it is a big list:
Ecclesiastical Church Insurance 'Best Fund Raising Idea' Prize, The Garfield Weston Foundation, The Beatrice Lang Trust, The Rank Foundation, The Stephen Clark 1957 Trust, The William Openshaw Charity, Duchy of Lancaster Benefit Fund, Sponsored Haircut on David Jones, The Deal (Wigan Council), loads of tea and coffee mornings, Brighter Borough Fund, 50p’s collected by parishioners, a Quiz Night, Mr Newall and the West Lancashire Freemasons.
We are indebted to all these bodies for their generous donations, along with also our Architects, Grimshaw Associates, our Quantity Surveyors MDA Consulting and last but not least , our contractor Lloyd and Smith.
Also, we recently appealed for financial help from individuals to purchase a new cooker and hood, a fridge and a hot water boiler for the new kitchen. The concert by Rainford Ladies’ Choir enabled us to purchase the boiler, and this was quickly followed up by several donations, large and small, that allowed us to buy the cooker, hood and fridge. Many thanks to those people who responded to our appeal so quickly.
See both projects progress in our 'time lapse' videos! See the kitchen video here. See the disabled toilet video here.
Thanks again

June: The Month Of The Summer Solstice
June is the month of the summer solstice, the month of the Sun. Sol + stice come from two Latin words meaning ‘sun’ and ‘to stand still’. As the days lengthen, the sun rises higher and higher until it seems to stand still in the sky. The Summer Solstice results in the longest day and the shortest night of the year. The Northern Hemisphere celebrates in June, and the Southern Hemisphere celebrates in December. While the Druids worship at Stonehenge and elsewhere, here are two Christian alternatives that honour the Creator rather than the created.
A Canticle for Brother Sun:
'Praised be You, My Lord, in all Your creatures, Especially Sir Brother Sun, Who makes the day and enlightens us through You. He is lovely and radiant and grand; And he heralds You, his Most High Lord. St Francis of Assisi'.
