St. Joseph’s Church, Merry Hill, Wolverhampton

I’ve added the streamed feed of the first part of the Lent course from this year, under a new Worship…Listen menu – here. Enjoy!

The site’s changed a bit – we’ve now got a static homepage (which needs much more work) and Posts are now on a Discuss page. Also various other bits have been moved around either in sequence or what menu they are under, and one or two things have been deleted. Feedback welcome…

Wordtube is now installed and working. It’s a bit flash video oriented but clearly plays audio perfectly too, and seems to work pretty well. Try the below.

We seem to be getting the full player for this audio stream but that’s not a problem really.

At the last Pints of View session with Phill Ball and Andrew Ritchie there seemed to me to be a strong feeling that engagement by us as individual Christians, and also by the church as body, in developing and helping drive policy for restorative justice and also improvements in rehabilitation.

How to do so with real effect on our community?

Now there’s some content about writing Pages and Posts. Enjoy. And comment!

I’ve started adding help pages to give people a clue about how to start to work the website. Try it out!

I thought it would be good to add a People page. But I haven’t got a complete list of people and what they all do – nearly everybody does something whether it’s creche duty or leading or reading or stewarding or on a committee or three – and some people might like to have their photos up too. And how to structure? By action group, responsibility?

Comments please!

This new website was up just a little too late (er, 10 mins before) the October 5th Harvest service to say much about it in advance! But it was a great service – all-ages and packed with the church family and their wider family and friends and brownies and scouts and who knows who else. And the smell of fresh bread as you went into the church was fab. I wish I’d had breakfast! Anyway lots of great worship, amusing sketches, and even a “Feed 5000 men” song to the tune of “1000 miles” with puppets.
Our lot couldn’t stay for the harvest lunch afterwards but I hear it was great too. And the service made an impact on our 5-year-old – at tea she said Grace and prayed that we would share our food with people across the world who don’t have enough. Well done Liz – you clearly got that one across!

Welcome to the website of St Jo’s, Merry Hill, Wolverhampton. We’ll be working hard to bring this really to life in the next few weeks – bear with us while we work on the look and content of the site!
