News from the Churches and Community
St Andrew’s Church We have our biggest programme yet for the Chesterton Festival with three concerts, a series of poetry recitals, a nature walk in the churchyard (and, separately, a historical tour). We will also be hosting a youth night, a Sunday afternoon Songs of Praise and a church decorated with flowers and a giant whale to tell the story of Jonah (the youth choir will be singing Jonah-Man Jazz, amongst other things, on Saturday 24 June at 4pm).
At the end of June we will be
saying farewell to one of our curates, Bridget Baguley, a week before welcoming a new one (Kathryn Waite)! On Sunday 2 July, 4pm, I will be leading a historical tour from Castle Hill down to St Clement’s in Bridge Street, exploring the origins of both Chesterton and Cambridge and taking us into the territory of the Vikings. More details of that and all our church events, activities and services for the coming months can be found on our website, www.standrews-chesterton.org. Nick Moir
St George’s Church It was very good to be able to move back into the church for Holy Week and Easter and to fill the cross with flowers and build an Easter garden. We continue to work in partnership with Cambridge Community Circus in our use of the space and it is great to have them with us. Another partnership, with the Cambridge Film Trust is continuing with a film showing during the Chesterton Festival and it will be great to welcome everyone in for that. We would continue to welcome suggestions and thoughts from all the community in the use of the space for the benefit of our neighbours and city. Ruth Adams

Chesterton Methodist Church By the time you read this the building works at CMC should be all finished. It will be good to say farewell to the toilets in the car park!
Please take a look at the website to see the latest news and to see when there will be some open days. Or just drop by and see if the church is open - you will be welcome to take a look round and see what has been done. Also on the website will be details of rooms available to hire.
I just need to say a very public thank-you to all the neighbours and Clarence House Nursery families and staff for putting up with six months of disruption. We know it will have been worth it in the end.
Peace be with you! Deacon Ian Murray.

Community Listener volunteers needed This is Lizzie, she is one of our local
Healthwatch Cambridgeshire volunteers and is helping us with a new project to look at how health and care services communicate with people who have a sensory loss.
Lizzie's told us "I am a service user myself and have disabili es so I rely on good healthcare and support, such as having a good rela onship with the GP."
Our volunteers are people like you who live or work in Cambridgeshire. You know the place you live and the people in your community. We need your help to talk to more people about Healthwatch and find out what care is like for them.
You will listen to people within your local community who have used health or social care services. This may be your family, neighbours and
friends, or people you meet within your local networks.
You may visit local groups, chat with people and record what they have to say.
You might talk to people about Healthwatch Cambridgeshire. This may involve giving a short presenta on, or working with us on a display stand.
We will give you training and support, as well as paying agreed out of pocket expenses.
As a Community Listener, you could also train to take part in our ‘Enter and View” visits to local health or care services. This is our legal right to visit places that provide publicly funded health or care services, to see and hear how people experience care. In the last year, we have visited Addenbrooke’s and Hinchingbrooke Hospitals.
Contact Heather or Elizabeth for an
informal chat. Call 01480 420628, email [email protected]
