This
year, 2018, sees the merger of two important events in the village of Mellor
– The Rose Queen Festival and the School Gala Day.
Members of St Mary’s Church and FOSMs are
working together to ensure that the best of both events are combined so that
the day is memorable for all, especially the children.
The Rose Queen, Emilia Dunn will be crowned at
a service in church at 11.00am
by her aunt, Alison Ryan, before taking part in a Procession of Witness around
the village, with her attendants, Matilda Dunn, Georgia Wells, Georgina and Holly Batty. The Retiring Queen, Alannah
Slater with her attendants Jessica Wells, Charlotte Dawson-Smith and Lara Book;
and the visiting Rose Queens from Salesbury and Langho will also be present.
At the moment we are still trying to find a
band to lead the procession and everyone is invited to join in by walking with
the Church Banners which will be carried by parents and children from church
and school.
On
arrival back at school Emilia will carry out her first duty as Rose Queen by
opening the Gala.
Entrance
will be by donations (buckets will be shaken).
There
will be the usual stalls and attractions in and around the school with refreshments
and the Barbeque.
Everyone
is invited to take part and enjoy this very special day for all members of
Church & School in Mellor. |

Reverend
Doctor John Darch
On Palm Sunday a large
congregation attended John's final service at St Mary's before he and his wife,
Madge, retire to live in Shropshire.
John has been a regular visitor
to Mellor for several years, taking services and being part of the ministry
team in the United Benefice. His sermon focused on the many journeys mentioned
in the Bible and reminded us of our own journey of faith.
Graham Tipper spoke for us all
when he thanked John for his ministry to us, giving him cards of good wishes
from many parishioners and Mrs Darch was presented with a bouquet of yellow
roses.
Canon
John Hartley and
Reverend
Roland Nicholson
Easter Sunday marked the last
time that Canon John would celebrate Holy Communion in St Mary's Church.
At the request of the Bishop of
Blackburn, the Right Reverend Julian Henderson, John and Roland have been asked
to step down from officiating at services in the United Benefice, serving on
any committees, attending events and having any involvement in school or
attending meetings of the Mothers Union etc.
For the past ten years both
John and Roland have served the United Benefice faithfully as priests, always
available and ready to help in times of need...or joy.
As a mark of our appreciation,
they were both given cards signed by many members of the congregation, gifts of
wine and vouchers and received a standing ovation from the large congregation.
The statement from the bishop
is available for anyone to read and can be found on the notice board in the
Narthex of St Mary's church |
