Golden Days at Dukinfield Moravian Church, Cheshire
- Sept 2024

The Dukinfield Congregation were lucky enough recently to have something to celebrate – not one but two Golden wedding anniversaries have just occurred at the Church. Sister Kate Barber and her husband John, as well as Sister Dorothy and Brother Bill Evans made it to 50 years of marriage in 2024. I am sure you will share in sending much love and good wishes to them all.

Both couples wanted to mark the occasion in a special way; they asked for joint donations to be given to the Dukinfield Moravian Church Food Hamper scheme – who work with the local Tameside MBC Social Services all year round. The couples recognise that with the cost-of-living crisis over the school Summer holidays many families may find providing meals a stretch.

A fantastic amount of £1,310 was raised and the Food Hamper scheme went shopping crazy to provide 50 rainbow bags of produce to families in the local area.

It reminds us of Colossians 3:14: ‘And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.’ This verse encourages couples to prioritise love above all else, recognising that love is the foundation for a strong and united partnership. And that partnership can then share the love of God to others.
