Ecc & Att Deanery

24 Fair Trade ‘The Real Easter Egg’s were donated to the 2 Refuges in Sheffield by the 4 branches in Eccelsall & Attercliffe Deanery. Each egg contained a booklet telling the Easter story as well as a chocolate egg. These enabled each child and their parent to read the easter story and to share the meaning of Easter.

DASH Deanery

Sprotbrough MU Branch recently held what seems to have become an annual event in the village; their Cream Tea to raise funds for AFIA. This year was a sellout and the Church Hall was full. Over seventy cream teas were provided. There were stalls selling cakes, cards / gifts, plants, books and mystery gifts, alongside the ever-popular raffle, all of which helped to swell funds. Needless to say, the main focus was on the cream teas with homemade scones provided by members! Thanks to the hard work of members and good support from the community, a record breaking £840.00 was raised for AFIA this year. An enjoyable afternoon was had by all and certainly well worthwhile!

Rotherham & Laughton Deanery

Bramley MU went to the Marina Fish and Chip restaurant in Rawmarsh for our annual lunch outing.  Last year we enjoyed our visit to the Marina so much we returned this year. Everyone who came enjoyed a lovely meal and had a very happy time together, as can be seen from the smiling faces in the photo.
