Donations are made regularly of food items to allow us to make up parcels. We do however find ourselves running short of certain items from time to time. We are currently short of: coffee, sugar, UHT milk, long life Fruit juice, tinned meat, and tinned potatoes. We have seen an increase in demand recently. We also like to buy some fresh items to go with the packets and tins to provide a more balanced diet. These include bread, milk, cheese and eggs and for families with children some fruit. We have been lucky to be given some money via donations and a grant from Cheshire East. Our funds are however, getting low so we would ask if churches could consider making a donation towards this or if individuals want to make a donation or set up a standing order this would be appreciated. For more details on how to donate please email [email protected] Deborah Darnes and Karen Foster Christian Aid Week 13-19 May olunteers from churches have collected house to house during V Christian Aid Week since it began more than 60 years ago.

  • LIVERPOOL ECHO 1 9 February 1914 I AM SORRY a Boatman on The
    LIVERPOOL ECHO 1 9 February 1914 I AM SORRY A boatman on the Shropshire Union boat Sovereign was remanded at Ellesmere Port today on a charge of stealing a pair of trousers, value 8s 11d, belonging to Edward Owen, captain of the Shropshire Union boat Syphon. Complainant said he purchased the trousers in Ellesmere Port on Friday afternoon, and placed the trousers in a cupboard on board his boat. He missed them later in the evening. He then went to the Sovereign, and was given permission to search it. He asked prisoner if he had the trousers, and he replied, “No”. Complainant subsequently found them, and when he told prisoner, the latter said, “Don't give me in charge”. Prisoner said he went into the cabin of the Syphon, and when he took the trousers, complainant was drunk and sleeping. Police-constable Williams said he arrested prisoner on the Sovereign, and he said, “I may as well tell the truth. I took them, and I may as well come quietly”. When charged he said, “I am sorry”. Nothing was known against prisoner. 2 18 February 1914 OFF THE SYPHON - LAND PIRACY AT ELLESMERE PORT William Owen was sentenced to a month's imprisonment at Ellesmere Port, today, for stealing a flitch of bacon, value £1 10s, the property of the Shropshire Union Railways and Canal Company, from the boat Syphon, of which his brother is captain.

    1 The Story of St. Pauls Poynton by Wilfred Jukka S.M.M. September September 1957 To commemorate 1982 the SILVER JUBILEE of the Erection of St. Pauls as a Parish. 2 CONTENTS Page INTRODUCTION 4 ITS ANCIENT CONTEXT till 1939 4 THE CINEMA CHURCH 1939—1941 8 THE CHAPEL OF EASE 1941—1957 14 THE NEW PARISH 1957—1960 17 THE EVENTFUL YEARS 1960—1974 19 THE CONTINUING PROCESS 1974—1982 25 THE EPILOGUE 1982 36 3 INTRODUCTION The Parish of St. Paul’s, Poynton, takes in the whole of Poynton-with- Worth and Higher Poynton, as well as those parts of Woodford and Adlington which are indicated on the map found on the inside cover of this book. The map is based on the document sent by Bishop Murphy to Fr. Lynch on 15th. February 1959, now in the Presbytery Files. It is a parish of the Catholic Church, and what follows, deals not with the whole history of the district, but only with those details in it that are linked closely with the Catholic Faith and its adherents in this area. The “story”, incomplete and unscholarly, is written to mark the Silver Jubilee of the foundation of St. Paul’s Parish in September 1957. ITS ANCIENT CONTEXT… TILL 1939 From ancient times until the beginning of the nineteenth century there were, as far as is known, very few people living in this district. It was formed part of the Forest of Macclesfield. This means that long ago it was doubtless thickly wooded, but for many centuries during the Middle Ages it consisted mainly of rough pasture land interspersed with frequent trees.
