Taize service rehearsal/planning: Are you a musician or singer and would you be interested in joining our Taize service at 3pm on 9th February at Nantwich? Come along to a rehearsal/planning meeting on Tuesday 7 January at 7.30pm at Shavington Methodist Church. Parking is available at Shavington Primary school opposite or try to arrange car shares. You can just turn up, but if possible please let Sarah Butcher know you are coming, what instrument you will be playing, or if you are singing. This is to help with preparing sheet music. Contact Sarah on 01270 666156 or sarah.butcher@methodist.org.uk
If you look at this and think, 'what is a Taize service?' it is a style of worship that is simple and meditative. The music is fairly gentle and repetitive, with beautiful harmonies.

You are warmly invited to a Week of Prayer for Christian Unity 2025 with Andy Flannagan at Hoole United Reformed Church, Hoole Road, Hoole, Chester CH2 3NT on Sunday 19 January at 3pm. It would be lovely if you could stay for refreshments and a chat afterwards.
