Noah's Ark March 2019 (27 photos)

Noah's Ark March 2019: Noahâ€™s Ark provides a useful service to our community. It meets the need for moms, nans and aunties to socialise - and of course for the children to mix.
The craft was making Mothering Sunday cards - and all of the children left with daffodils (with many thanks to Asda for providing them).
Funeral of Mike Edwards 2019 (15 photos)

The funeral of the late Mike Edwards took place at All Saints' on Tuesday 26th March 2019 at 10am.

Well over 300 people packed into All Saints' to show their respects for this wonderful local man who touched the lives of so many over the years.

There were touching eulogies to Mike by his family and close friends.

Sedgley Scouts held an honour guard with scouting standards at the entrance to church.

Sedgley Morris Men, of whom Mike was co-founder in 1979, dressed in their traditional Morris costumes, were also there outside the church to honour Mike as he was brought into church.

Afterwards a reception was held at Wombourne Civic Centre where people who knew him had an opportunity to share their reminiscences about Mikeâ€™s life.

Mike was 77.

Pancake Party 2019 (23 photos)

The Pancake Party held on Shrove Tuesday 5/3/19 at St Andrew's was a huge success in all respects. It was attended by a lot of local families and there was a range of activities to suit everyone.

It began with workshop art and craft activities based on the theme of Jesus's 40 days in the wilderness, eg making sackcloth bags and snakes; then everyone went next door to the church and collected pictures of pancake ingredients, and took part in a story with Pancake buzzwords (eg Flour!) allocated to each member of the audience, at the sound of which they had to stand up!

Then there was a team game of building a pancake pathway in the hall; and finally everyone was served a delicious pancake made by the kitchen crew. Well done to Helen Laird and the young people's team who all contributed to such a memorable day.

Pets Service Feb 2019 (14 photos)

A pets' service at St Peter's Church Hall on Sunday 10th February 2019. A new initiative by the Team Vicar of Gornal and Sedgley has filled St Peter's Church in Upper Gornal.

Owners of all kinds of pets were encouraged to bring them to a special service in the church hall on Sunday 10th February 2019, where they were blessed by the vicar. Hymns with an animal theme, such as 'All Things Bright and Beautiful' were sung by the congregation.

Revd Mitchell said: "It was great to fill the church with pets and their owners. It's brought a whole new group of people into church and shows we want to provide the kind of service that is relevant today. All our pets were remarkably well-behaved!"
