We’re looking forward to an event on living with dementia.
The event will be of value to anyone with dementia or to those coming to terms with caring for others.
There will be two sessions on the day, one on Coming Alongside People Living with Dementia, and another on Supporting Those Living With Dementia in Care Homes. The second session will be helpful to those not living in care homes too.

About Ian
Born in Edinburgh, Ian Cape started his musical life by tapping on the pews in his local church. After years of pestering his long-suffering parents, he began studying drum kit aged 9, playing with several rock bands shortly thereafter. Percussion lessons with Pam Dow at the Junior department of the then Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama culminated in a bursary to study at the Royal Academy of Music in London.
Ian attended All Souls Langham Place, London for many years, where he was heavily involved in the various music ministries under Noel Tredinnick, playing in services, the orchestra and in various outreach programs across London and further afield, on an eclectic diet of music ranging from the extremely traditional to the latest contemporary offerings.
We’re pleased to invite all our partnership churches and friends to an evening of Wirral Praise and Prayer.
The Wirral Gospel Partnership has blessed many individuals and churches since it was formed in 2010. We want to come together to worship our God and celebrate the partnership he’s given us.
We live in turbulent times of change and it’s good for us to encourage one another this way.
So, please join with us as we come together to praise God, to celebrate our partnership in the gospel, and to pray for one another.
When? Sunday 15 September at 6:30pm. If you normally have an evening service or meeting, perhaps you might like to relocate to be with us?
Where? St Stephen’s Prenton, 11 Prenton Lane.
Who can come? All our partners and friends are invited. This is for everyone.
We had an fascinating evening on fostering, adoption, and the whole church family. There are many children in need of adoption and foster care. The good news is that it’s clearly an expression of love that Christians and churches can get involved with.
We had guest speaker Josh MacDonald from Cornerstone UK, and interviews with local Christians who had adopted or fostered.
Alex and Rachel were interviewed about their experience of adopting a child. Lynda spoke movingly about the many children she has cared for as a full-time foster carer. Darren & Julia were interviewed about the respite fostering they had been involved in. In each case, the love that was invested in children shone through beautifully – both from the families involved and the wider church families praying and encouraging.
Here’s how Cornerstone describe themselves:
Cornerstone is an Independent Fostering and Post Adoption Support Agency operating from Leicester up to Newcastle. We specialise in offering ‘permanent‘ homes to children in the care of Local Authorities. We are the only Christian Fostering Agency in the UK.
‘Freedom of religion or belief’ (FoRB), is a fundamental and universal human right articulated in Article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) and other international human rights treaties.
That right is denied to millions across the world. Over 360 million Christians suffer high levels of persecution and discrimination for their faith (Open Doors).
We invited Fiona Bruce to speak ahead of the international Ministerial FoRB Conference in London in July 2022. Many local Christians joined us to find out how we can make a difference here and worldwide and to pray for an end to persecution.
When? Sunday 15th May at 6:30pm
Where? St Catherine’s Church, Tranmere
Price? Free
This event is part of a series of national presentations by End The Persecution.
This year’s LIFE Mission was a series of events addressing aspects of everyday life in the light of the Good News about Jesus Christ.
A number of local churches hosted a variety of daytime events.
The main events were our five evenings with guest speaker, Glen Scrivener of Speak Life.
Glen is a gifted speaker and evangelist and has a huge range of material online through the charity, Speak Life.
