Tea Dance with Willow and Joel

Posted on by rcl53

One of our young church members, Willow, has taken it upon herself to organise a tea dance with her dancing partner, Joel, at St Mary’s Church in Ross to raise money for their imminent competitions in Blackpool! The tea dance will be held on March 26th from 1pm-4pm, and they would love to see you there. Tickets are £5 and include a free cuppa and a cake! There will also be a raffle, dance demonstrations, opportunities to learn a new dance as taught by Joel and Willow and generally lots of good fun! Get in touch with Charlotte Taylor or Katy Marsh via facebook messenger if you would like to purchase tickets, and we can put them in named envelopes on the door for you once payment has been received. Thank you, and we look forward to seeing you there!

February Messy Church was all about love. After our messy crafts, we talked about how God loves us and how we love each other. We sang songs, heard Tiffany tell us the story of Mary, Martha and Jesus, listened to the Youth Choir and prayed with Ann.

Vision Day 2022

Posted on by MarkSanderson

A reminder that our 2022 Vision Day, for all the Ross Parishes, takes place tomorrow in St Mary’s from 10.15. There’s still time to upload a picture of your church, with a comment, that captures how you feel about it. There’s plenty of inspiration there now, thanks to all those who have already done that https://padlet.com/soulfulvision/ross22

If you don’t feel you want to join us in person, the session is being live streamed on YouTube.
