Echo Arena, Monarchs Quay, Liverpool, L3 4BY

This Event is sponsored by Merseyside Police & City Links together with Churches across Merseyside. It will showcase, in a lively magazine format, work that churches are doing in their communities which are making a difference to community life.
The event will be a huge encouragement to church members as well as being informative for other agencies of the massive work the church contributes to community well-being.
There are 5000 seats available at the Arena and it will be a great witness to secular agencies of the vibrancy of the Church on Merseyside if we are able to fill them. Dignitaries from Council and other agencies are also being invited to attend.

We had a great time on Easter Saturday as members from St Mark’s Church, Haydock performed a Passion Play in Church Square. There was a great turn-out of people of all ages and 500 Hot Cross Buns were given out, together with bookmarks containing an Easter message, and small eggs for the children.
We praise the Lord for the fine weather and especially that several people asked Jesus into their lives.
Thanks to all who helped in any way.

SHINE is to become part of the St Helens Compact, and Revd Philip Fell, who is the Chairman of SHINE, is the representative for the Faith Sector.
The St Helens Compact is a partnership agreement between St Helens Local Strategic Partnership, including: St Helens Borough Council, NHS Halton and St Helens and other statutory bodies and the voluntary, community, faith and voluntary sports sector.
This Compact sets out the principles and values of the partnership and aims to achieve a ‘Compact’ way of working by helping us to:
- Communicate better with each other
- Understand and respect each other’s views
- Work together more effectively to support the people and communities of St Helens
Shared Principles of the St Helens Compact
The following principles underpin the development, operation and review of the Compact. Each organisation that is signed up to the Compact is encouraged to adopt these principles for their internal affairs. We believe that:
- The voluntary, community, faith and voluntary sports sector fulfills a role that is distinct from both the statutory and private sectors.
- By working together we will achieve more for the people and communities of St Helens.
- Voluntary action and community involvement are essential to a democratic society.
- An independent and diverse voluntary, community, faith and voluntary sports sector is fundamental to the wellbeing of society.
- People who work and/or volunteer in the voluntary, community, faith and voluntary sports sector make a vital and unique contribution to the wellbeing and health of people and communities in St Helens.
- Working in partnership enhances the ability of statutory sector bodies and of voluntary, community, faith and voluntary sports sector organisations to fulfill their own purposes, but also imposes a responsibility to contribute towards achieving common aims and objectives, according to the capacity of each organisation.
- Irrespective of any funding relationships, voluntary, community, faith and voluntary sports sector organisations are entitled to campaign in order to advance their aims and objectives, to comment on and challenge public and statutory sector policy and to determine and manage their own affairs.
- Genuine partnerships across the sectors require integrity, objectivity, understanding, accountability, openness, honesty, collaboration and recognition of the equal value of their contribution.
- Purposeful consultation improves policy development, builds relationships and enhances the design and delivery of services and programmes.
