MORE than 200 people attended the annual civic service for the community at St Luke’s Church in Holmes Chapel.

The service was held by Holmes Chapel Parish Council, and Holmes Chapel MP Fiona Bruce was among those who attended.

“We were delighted that so many local organisations were represented in the congregation of over 200 at the service, which gave thanks to the community for their input into village life,” said parish council administrative assistant Sue McKay.

“The Reverend Graham Joyce delivered a meaningful sermon and highlighted the issues facing our communities.

“The parish council was honoured that Fiona Bruce MP, the Cheshire East Mayor, Councillor Barry Burkhill and Mayoress Sue Bidwell attended the service and the reception afterwards.

“Thank you to all those who attended and for all the hard work you do for the village of Holmes Chapel."
