We are delighted to announce, following the election of Jean Moult and re/election of Louise Cope as our churchwardens at our Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM) in May, they were formally admitted to their office by the Archdeacon of Salford and Bolton at the Archdeacons Visitation service at St Peter with St Philip Bolton last night 👏💒

We were truly honoured to host a service in church yesterday for the Whitehead Gardens Rededication Service which was followed by a tree planting by the Mayor of Bury, tours of the gardens and refreshments in the hall.

The Gardens were created in 1950 by the Whitehead family as a memorial to the 7 people who lost their lives when a V1 bomb landed on a row of cottages on Chapel St on Christmas Eve 1944. The gardens have been renovated in a project lead by Tottington & Bury West Rotary Club working with Bury Council, Proffitts and pupils from both Tottington Primary & Tottington High School, with funding from National Lottery Heritage Fund and Bury Council. What a fabulous community project it has been for the good of Tottington and how fabulous it’s particularly been to see the children get involved so enthusiastically. 🌺 🌳

We’ve reached the final week of Musical May. What a great success this has been. Thank you to everyone who has organised and supported the events in all sorts of ways, you know who you are❤️

We’ve raised an astonishing amount for both Liv’s Trust, and our organ fund. We have raised £920 for Liv’s Trust, and £1,350 for the organ fund, so across Musical May as a whole, we have raised £2,270! Such a brilliant total, thank you all for your wonderful generosity!

At our final event this morning, our Thanksgiving service, we were joined by Sharon Goodman from Liv’s Trust, and Deputy Lieutenant David Catterall. We sang some wonderful hymns and especially delighted to be able to present Sharon with a cheque for Liv’s Trust, and reflect on the wonderful events we’ve had!

Once again, thank you all for supporting Musical May in the way you have done. Musical May will be back in 2027, and we’re looking forward to it already!! 🎵

A magical evening spent absorbing the sound of our wonderful choir and organist Alan at the penultimate Musical May event. Thank you to you all for a lovely evening. We are so blessed to have you at St Anne’s. Our musical director Alan’s hard work paid off and thanks, yet again, to Harry Cain for stepping in as compere and getting a rapid lesson in German! To the untrained ear the organ sounded splendid, thanks to Alan’s expertise. Just imagine how amazing it would sound repaired. Another £180 now in the fund towards its repair. Thanks also to all who attended and donated. 🎶

Event 2 of our Musical May absolutely smashed on Saturday. What a fabulous event. Bury Fire Choir were amazing, what a team of talent they are and how lucky are we at St Anne’s to have the talented Shirley Harrison Emma Griffiths and Julie Ogden perform. Thank you to absolutely everyone who pulled this together, you know who you are (in case we forgot anyone!) but most of all thanks to Harry Cain for leading it all. He has back ache from all the pats on the back 😂 Thank you to the High Sheriff of Manchester, Mark Llewellin, for joining us and Luis McBriar for being our compere. Thank you to everyone who bought tickets and donated for our organ fund and the amazing Liv’s Trust. Next event Singalong The Sound of Music on Tuesday 19 May at 7pm in the parish hall 🎶 ⛰️ 🐐
