Hi Lindsey, lovely to meet you! Congratulations on your wedding - it is awesome to be married as I am sure you know by now. We are expecting a little boy and can't wait to meet him now. I will try my best to go to St Matthews on Sunday night and I will def pop in to see Elaine&Peter at the Vicarage during my flying visit. BTW - Is there a Faithcourse session on Monday night? Love Annette

Hi Elaine and Peter,
Just confirming that Peter and I are booked in for the Parish week-end?Let us know when and how much we need to send,and I'll drop a cheque in to the Vicarage ASAP.
Love Lindsey E.

Hi everyone,
Just to let you know that there are only 2 places left at the Parish Weekend. First come first serve.
Sunday Evening - Helen Houston will be doing evensong at St Matthew's which will be good. If we aren't at the service call in afterwards.

Hi Annette,
I don't know if we've ever met,but,having read your message,I'd just like to wish you and your baby well for April 8th,or whenever he or she decides to put in an appearance!
I live in Parkland Close and Peter and I were married in May 2004 at St.Cross Church,by Elaine.
If I get the chance to go to Evensong on Sunday,at St.Matt's,I'll look forward to seeing you there!
With every good wish,
Lindsey(Etheridge)

Hi everyone, just a quick update from snowy Switzerland. All is well with Rob and I although I must say I can't wait to meet our little arrival now (due 8 April) and to have my body back! I will be in the UK on Sunday night, probably my last visit for a while and I will come to Church - can't wait! I need that hug again so where will everyone be - Elaine, Peter, Kath etc...St Matthews or St Cross? Love Annette

Hi everyone,
Hope your gas supply is fully functioning again,Kath!This is NOT the time of year to do without the Central Heating.I feel very out-of-touch at the moment because, for various family reasons,I've not been able to get to a service for some weeks.I'm hoping to rectify that this Sunday!
Have given all the details of Scargill,to Lindsay and Steve Grace,and they are thinking of coming along,but,as we both have canine friends to accommodate whenever we go away,it makes it a "dear do"!!Fingers crossed!
Look forward to seeing you soon,
LindseyX

How nice to see the site being used to keep in touch. (You can see how long ago it was when I last looked as I have only just noticed Lindsey and Annette's contributions this year). Its great to have more people use this facility - and it doesn't matter if you are in Switzerland, Alaska or anywhere in Cheshire!
I am stuck at home at the moment as there is a smell of gas and Transco have kindly cut off the supply. Am waiting patiently for British Gas - it is minus 1 degree outside but fortunately I have two very efficient electric fires. Mmmmm... time for a coffee, I think.

Thanks for that,Elaine.
Please would you reserve 2 places for me and Peter?Let me know how much of a Deposit you need,or whether it's payment in full straight away.
See you soon,
Lindsey

Thanks Lyndsey
There are still plenty of places left for the Scargill Weekend - and this year we have deliberately opened it to everyone in either parish. So if anyone would like to join us, the Parish Weekend will be from 21st to 23rd April 2006.

Hi everyone,

I agree with Lyndsey that this is just another way of reaching out and being in touch with our "Christian family". I just got back to Switzerland from a flying visit to the UK for Christmas - it was wonderful but too short and the brief hug of Elaine and Peter on Christmas Eve will have to sustain me for a while...I did not have much time to meet with anyone so just wanted to let you know that all is well and Rob and I wish you all a wonderful New Year full of love and happiness. Annette

Hi Elaine and Peter,
I've only just discovered this wonderful means of keeping in touch,and really enjoyed reading the previous messages.I feel a bit of a fraud using this site,when I know Liz and Annette have been so "Far flung"!Nevertheless,because I work full-time in Chester,this means that I can keep in touch,when phones get so busy.This way allows me time to reflect and communicate,rather than talk.
It was Ed who got me thinking,as,after the service this a.m.,I asked if the Parish Week-end was all booked up and he suggested I E-mailed you.Well,I searched high and low,but couldn't find your address,so I searched for our Web Site and found this!
I found the time at Scargill last year so amazing,that I'd really like the opportunity to come again.My Peter found it difficult,but he's happy to come along,knowing that there'll be no pressure exerted to participate in anything he feels uncomfortable with.He certainly gained a great deal from the peacefulness and time to reflect on things.
I've really rambled,so I'll leave you in peace,but,as it's hard to put very strong feelings and thoughts into spoken words,I want to take this opportunity to thank you all for the support,prayers and love which have supported me and my family over the last year.All of this has strengthened my absolute belief in the power of the Holy Spirit to turn lives around,if only we'll just let him in.Thank you all.
With much love from
Lindsey.

Great, I look forward to see you at Church on Sunday!! Love Annette

I will be at the 6.30 for a re-dedication service. It would be great to see you if you can make it.
With love Elaine

Dear Elaine, I am so sorry I missed it! We decided to go to Egypt for a short break and just got back. Rob has now gone to Zurich and left me to do the packing whilst being frantic at work...life is happening too fast at the moment! Will you be at Church on Sunday night? I would love to say goodbye and give you my forwarding address as I move to Zurich next Wednesday! Lots of love Annette

Message to Annette. We were really disappointed not to have seen you at the faithcourse. Let us know where you are up to.
With much love Elaine

Great to hear from you Liz. We really miss you. I'm glad you had a good break and have steeled back. What's the wether like there? Do you have autumnal/winter conditions?
Elaine
