Celebrating Education

Greenfield Church marked Education Sunday by celebrating not just the benefits of education, but also marking the hard work and dedication of our educators.

Celebrating at the church were representatives of local schools and the Open University. Leading the service Rev. Stephen Smith shared with members of the congregation their memories of outstanding teachers.

Fiona Jones from Flixton Infants School (see picture) spoke movingly of her 'calling' to be a teacher and the immense satisfaction she felt as children 'grew' in knowledge and self confidence as they progressed through her school.

Big Breakfast 2011

Big....Bigger....Biggest Breakfast
Saturday 24th September 2011
 
 White and golden shiny eggs, soft and luscious mushrooms, sweet and juicy tomatoes, singing sausages, purring rashers golden at the edges, plump black puddings and tender beans.
 It can only mean one thing - Greenfield’s annual bigger breakfast. All served up with flair and panache by Ann Spiteri and her willing team of Andrea and Pat.
 Each year we join with men all over the world for the Baptist Men’s Movement’s yearly attempt to beat the world record for the number of men sitting down to breakfast at the same time.
 Each time a stimulating speaker to help the digestion. This year Rev Robert Parkinson from Didsbury Baptist Church with encouraging words for ‘blokes’. We don’t have to apologise for being a ‘bloke’ in church. The church is for everyone including ‘blokes’ who play football.
 This year 17 ‘blokes’ was our contribution. Did we make the world record? Well, we’re tantalisingly close, but we’ll have to wait for the final returns.
 If we don’t quite make it ...... there’s always next year.
