YOUTH CLUB ON TUESDAYS
On Tuesday 9th June a youth club will be commencing in St John’s church hall from 5pm to 7pm. It’s being run by a team from Trafford Youth Service – it began at Flixton Library but they were looking for more space and came to see our PCC some weeks ago. Please pray for the success of this group: we hope we’ll develop good contacts with them. Young people in Flixton – as in other areas – have few places where they can safely meet: let us hope this may be one of them.
GET A GOOD READ
Taste and See, the Christian book/gift shop and café, relocated last year to Brook Road. Please do call in and visit the team there – they have some wonderful books and gifts and also a range of second-hand Christian books, all in good condition and reasonable priced. Urmston Bookshop in Flixton Road now also has a small section of Christian books. Jo, the proprietor, is a committed Christian: do give her a visit when you are in Urmston.
ECO TIP
You can reduce your own carbon footprint by reviewing the way you travel around. Now the weather is improving it is a good time, for those who can, to start walking or cycling to your destination. If you are in need of transport, then always consider car-sharing or public transport. The majority of our bus network is now run on Green energy sources. Do your little bit for the planet.
PLEASE NOTE .....
Thursday Holy Communion services are to be held at St John's at 10.30am on 4th and 18th June, and at St Michael's Flixton at 10.15am on 11th and 25th June.
On Sunday 14th June at 10.30am we are again pleased to have Reverend John Clegg preach and preside at our service.
At the end of summer Rev Luke Maguire, Rector of All Saints in Stretford and our Mission Community Leader, is leaving the area for a new phase of his ministry at St John the Evangelist Highbridge. He has been at All Saints for 11 years and will be missed by the church community there and by us as a Mission Community.

Join the JC Squad!
'The J C Squad' is the new name for our Sunday School, and it runs at 10.30am during morning service. Children rejoin their parents in church at the end of the main service and often share with the whole congregation something of what they've been doing that day.
