The Ratcliffe Male Voice Choir performed at the
Church on 5th April 2008. The concert was held in memory of Jack Entwistle |
| Here are a few pictures taken at our
Seder Meal held on the 19th April 2008.
This event, although Jewish in origin, is a Passover for
Christians. It is a remembrance of the children of Israel’s slavery to the
Egyptians and their eventual release from it.
The Seder is a service, a meal and a celebration.

Tea at Molly's 2009
For
the first time in the last three years this event took place in warm
sunny weather. There were over 60 people attending, many outside
enjoying the sunshine and Molly's beautiful garden. Many volunteers had
provided sandwiches and cream scones and the ever popular "Parsons
Pimms" was provided by our minister Jeff Gould. The event raised
over £300 towards our annual target of £1000 to be donated to the
local branch of arc - the arthritis research charity.
