There really must be something in the water...?
Just to continue the theme started below....Another of our members has reached a milestone birthday in the "high 90s". Mike recently helped 
celebrate Laura Worswick's 97th birthday at her home just before Christmas. We told you there must something in the water in Moreton??
Elsie Burrows 99th Birthday.
It must be something in the water! but if you look through our Achive Photographs and reports in our magazine you will see lots of accounts of the l
ongevity of several of our members. The latest is Elsie Burrows who celebrated her 99th Birthday on 12th December. Several of our members called in to help her celebrate this landmark birthday. No doubt as a rehersal for "the big one" next year.
Advent
On the first Sunday of Advent the youngest member of the congregation (Harvey Pollard) lit the first candle on the advent ring.
Christmas Fair
Our Christmas Fair took place on Saturday 26th November. There were lots of the traditional Christmas stalls and refreshments in evidence. Many thanks to everyone who helped in any way towards the success of the Fair. All those who attended agreed it was a huge success both financially and socially. 
There were lots of new faces around - perhaps it was Santa waving to everyone as they went by that brought the passers-by in to the Fair! So thank you Santa wherever you are. A wonderfull time of fellowship for all.

E100 Challenge
20 of our members have recently taken up this Scripture Union Bible reading challenge. It is based on carefully selected short passages, 50 from the Old Testament, 50 from the New Testament - giving a broad picture of the Bible without "getting bogged down". Every two weeks, those who wish too, meet together for discussion of what they have read. We have only started two weeks ago and hope to finish at Revelations in November!!
Induction Service.
Saturday 5th November 2011 was a red letter day for our church when we held the Induction Service for Rev. Mike Ward. His induction ended a 2 year period without a resident minister and saw the official inauguration of the Wirral Pastorate, whereby we work together with our sister churches at Hoylake and Two Mills under Mike's guidance. The Induction Service was 
officiated by Ruth Wynn, Moderator of the Northen Presbytery of The Presbyterian Church of Wales, all the more fitting as Ruth is also our Church Secretary. The "Charge to the Churches" was delivered by Rev. Niel Kirkham, also a fitting choice as Neil is a former member of our church in Moreton. The service was attended by the Deputy Mayor of Wirral, Councillor Gerry Ellis and several local clergy. The service was followed by an afternoon tea prepared by the ladies of the three churches in the pastorate.

Pie n Peas Night.
This new addition to the churches growing list of culinary "at home" events took place at the home of the "Edges" on 9th September. Out of respect for the unpredicable September weather their garden took on the appearance of a tented village. However we were very fortunate with the weather, the rain and wind stayed away and we enjoyed a warm calm evening of excellent food and good company. Lovely homemade pie, mushy peas by the gallon and a spectacular array of deserts (all non-fattening of course). All those who attended had a very enjoyable evening, our church funds were swelled and so were our waistlines!! Our thanks go to Tim & Jeanette for all their hard work.

90th Birthday.
Following Sundays service (29th May) we took time out to wish Happy Birthday to Marjorie Emberton, one of our members who was celebrating her 90th Birthday.
Royal Wedding "Street" Party.
In the absence of official invitations to the Royal Wedding from Buckingham Palace we decided we must have been overlooked so we thought we had better organise our own celebrations. This we did in the form of an indoor street party on the afternoon of the big day. If we had received an invitation to the event in London we are not sure we would have had as much fun or laughed as much. The fun packed afternoon included the traditional range of activities, a royal wedding quiz, games, recitations and a sing-a-long all accompanied by the usual mountain of sandwiches & savouries, cakes and the all important jelly and ice-cream. The two wedding cakes were cut by the oldest person attending, Hilda Evans who will be 102 in a few weeks time and the youngest, five year old Alex Riley.

Cleaning the Memorial Widow. As part of the work to maintain and paint the outside of the memorial window and gable end of the Church we took the opportunity to clean all the glass and effect some minor repairs. It has to be said however that the "cherry-picker" provided by the contractor was larger than any of us expected!!. To see more photographs of the window cleaning click here

Quiz Night & Scouse Supper: Friday 16th April:
The eighth Quiz and Scouse Supper event was as successful and popular as the previous seven (although we are not sure that we are getting any better at answering the questions!!). Everyone agreed however that it was great fun and the scouse was delicious. The competition was very close with the early run-away leaders ("Gwyn's Harem") going into reverse after the food interval and "The Generation Game" (aka the Hazelhurst's) coming through to take the trophy in the last round from "Anglo Celts" and "The Bakewell Tarts" who were joint second.

Strangely enough the organisers didn't feel quite the same. This new event was a lovely relaxing afternoon with lots of food, fun and friendship all over a nice cup of tea and a chat......... ah simple pleasures!
