Fiona Bruce MP joins Arise Cheshire
The latest Arise Cheshire East meeting, held at the start of the year (4th January) at the Wych Centre, Middlewich, was joined by Fiona Bruce MP and Cheshire East Councillors, Steve Wilkinson and Louise Brown. Also present was Rob Wykes, Director of Christian Concern in Crewe, representatives from the CAB and St Luke’s Hospice as well as the Archdeacon of Macclesfield Ian Bishop and Co-leader of Arise, Carolyn McQuaker, together with residents from churches from many denominations across the whole of Cheshire East.
Arise Cheshire East exists to pray and support prayer for the area and to encourage practical community support. This was the latest of several meetings held over the past year including at Macclesfield Town Hall
During the meeting at Middlewich the group prayed at the start of 2013, for issues of local and national concern including for challenges faced by young people in the area, and for those involved in caring for our elderly population, for the work of Cheshire East Council and for national issues including the forthcoming Parliamentary Vote regarding a change in the laws on marriage.
Carolyn McQuaker said “This has been a great morning and an important meeting together to unite in prayer for Cheshire East and our nation at this critical time.”
These meetings are open to anyone who wishes to join in prayer for those concerned for the area we live in and our society both locally and nationally. More information about Arise Cheshire East can be found on www.arisecheshireeast.org.uk.
