Used stamps for RNIB

The success of our Christmas stamp collection means that we've decided to keep collecting all year round. The box will stay in church, so please save your stamps & cut them out with a 1cm/half inch
border. Please sort them into
British and Foreign and put them in our collection box from time to time.

Safeguarding

The Church of England is
conducting an independent review of all Safeguarding instances which may or may not have been previously reported. All parishes are being asked to review their
records and send a Declaration to the independent advisor by 28th February. We are asking all church members who may be aware of any incident which gives cause for
concern, whether previously
reported or not, to make that known to either the Vicar of the Parish Safeguarding Officer (St Marys' - Mrs Sue Whitehead. St Peter's - Mrs Cora Cowap). This will be in the strictest confidence. If anyone has anything they wish to report and would rather speak to someone outside of the Church's own structures there is a dedicated telephone line run by the NSPCC for this purpose. 0800 80 20 20. For information please refer to www.chester.anglican.org/PCR2. Thank you.

Prayer List

We welcome new names of those who are ill to be added to our weekly list for prayer. This is intended for a short to medium term prayer list.
After two months names will be
transferred to the Vicar's long term
prayer list. You can of course request that the name goes back on the list for a further period.
Regular updates would be appreciated about the condition of those who are sick.
Please let the Vicar or Linda Dutton know.
