Mersey Synod has announced a series of training sessions concerning Church Developement. The programme has several elements, as below

Green Matters - Richard Pearce, the Green Apostle and Eco Champion. Richard will explore simple ways to live greener and help the church. Packed with hints, tips, and easy actions, we'll see how small steps can make a big difference.
Funding Matters - Helen McCormack, Grants Officer. Helen will unpack the Church Life Fund and other funding opportunities. Teeming with practical advice, success tips, and application guidance, this session will help you take the next step from idea to action.
Discipleship Matters - Revd Geoff Felton & Revd Stuart Radcliffe. Geoff and Stuart will lead a discussion on where to actually start with discipleship personally and as a whole church. They will be exploring how growing in faith, investing in others, & leading with purpose can make a lasting impact in your church and leadership. Come ready to learn, reflect, and be encouraged & inspired!
Connection Matters- Steven Mitchell, Children & Youth Development Officer Steven will explore simple and meaningful ways to build relationships across generations, creating spaces where everyone can grow in faith together.

Baby Basics Liverpool
Each year at Allerton URC we have had
a tremendous response when collecting for Food Banks. This year the church asked for your support in donating to this organisation - Baby Basics a Liverpool is a volunteer-powered baby bank supporting
infants and parents experiencing hardship.
The members responded very well and we were able to make two huge deliveries to them in early Summer and again following our Harvest Festival.
Needless to say, Baby Basics were very grateful, so thanks are due to all who collected and donated to this very worthwhile cause.
Should you wish to make further individual donations, you may wish tosee the following:-

Ongoing Notices
We like to use the computer, projector and screen for our services here at Allerton.
There is quite a bit of preparation that goes into having hymns and readings on
the screen and we would like to spread the workload as best we can. If you or a
member of your family are familiar with Microsoft PowerPoint and can spare a couple of hours once a month to assist with the setting up of a PowerPoint
presentation, we would like to hear from you. Please speak to Ruth Winterburn
or Charles Lasham.
