ST ANNE’S CHURCH AND PROCESSION
SUNDAY 24 MARCH
Come and join us on Sunday 24 March for a short
procession and then a service at St Anne’s Church!
Our choir will be singing and all Key Stage 2
children are welcome. The short procession (with a
donkey) will be along Edward Street and Hyde Road
before the service. Children need to meet at the
corner of St Anne’s Road and Edward Street at
9.30am when staff will be present. It is expected that
we will arrive at church just before 10.30am. The
service is expected to finish at 11.40am. We would
love to see as many parents/carers and Key Stage 1
children as possible too. If there are problems
regarding bad weather and any of the four staff
planning to attend are unable to get to Denton,
Governors and adults from St Anne’s Church will
help to supervise the children on the walk. If
parents/carers prefer, children can meet staff at St
Anne’s Church around 10.30am.
