We were delighted to welcome Fr. Matthew Barnes, Rural Dean, to St. John’s Church on 13th March. The occasion was the commissioning of two Chesterfield Deanery M.U. officers at the beginning of a new triennial. Mrs Jean Anderson, as Chesterfield M.U. Deanery President and Mrs Ruth Cable, as Chesterfield M.U. Deanery Secretary were inducted by Fr. Matthew during a Mass held by Fr. Keith Cocking. Thirty eight Chesterfield deanery members, men and women, attended the service and they enjoyed fellowship and tea in the parish room.
Thank you to everyone who helped to plan, prepare, make cakes, serve the numerous cups of tea and wash up!
A very pleasant afternoon and the snow stayed away!
The next M.U. meeting will be held in the parish room on Wednesday 10th April at 2.15pm.
Mrs Mary Revill will give a talk about a Mothers Union project ‘A.F.I.A. – Away from it all.’ (It’s not about prison!)
Come along and be enlightened!!
Ruth Cable (M.U. Committee Member)
