On Sunday 17 December 2023 we will have our annual exchange of Christmas cards when everyone is invited to bring a card to meeting and then to take away a different card when they leave. In addition, after meeting for worship we will have a time for sharing prose, poems and songs.
We are having a soup, bread and cheese lunch after meeting for worship on Sunday 22 October in aid of our Quaker and Local Projects Fund. All Friends and friends of Friends are most welcome to join us.

Friends connected with the meeting are all invited together with family members.
Anyone who needs information about Helen's address should email cheadlehulmeqm@gmail.com .
Following Meeting for Worship we will spend a little time reflecting on what jobs are needed to keep our meeting running and who might do them in 2024.
The Foodbank based at Chelwood Baptist Church in Stockport (https://chelwoodfoodbankplus.org/) is supported by Churches Together in Cheadle Hulme by collections of food etc twice a week at local churches and financial contributions. It is one of the projects Cheadle Hulme Meeting supports from our Quaker and Local Projects Fund. We heard at our most recent business meeting that additional support is urgently needed because of increased demand for their services and so are encouraging Friends in our Meeting to consider supporting the Foodbank if they are able to. Others in the area may be interested in helping too.

We no longer call back to collect the envelopes (which was the part of the job that nobody enjoyed) but provide a number of collection points around Cheadle Hulme where people can drop off an envelope with cash contribution and also provide a website for online contributions.
Last year Cheadle Hulme churches raised £11,045 for Christian Aid from this envelope collection and other activities.
