The Annual Report and Accounts for 2023 has now been printed.

Two publications have been written about the history of St Paul’s – Sarah’s acorn, and of the Fell Church A History of Worship in Higher Grange.  Both are available from the Parish Office.

Another publication has been printed ‘Colin’s Country Churches’, written by Colin Milner, former headteacher at Grange Primary School.  It describes his visits to 25 churches throughout Cumbria during Covid lockdown, and includes a map of their locations with photographs – and postcodes for you to find your own way there.  A delightful description of some of our ‘hidden’ country churches, with a foreword written by Bishop Nigel McCulloch.  Copies are also available from the Parish Office, or can be ordered via the contact page on the web site.

There is also a Welcome leaflet available for visitors at the entrance to St Paul’s as a guide round the building.

Monthly Magazine

A monthly magazine is also produced, and copies are available from church during office hours or from the station bookstall.   The magazine can be downloaded by clicking on the image.

The Cartmel Peninsula Local History Society is currently copying our parish magazines on to its archive, which contains hundreds of documents of local interest.  The archive is available to members of the Society, but anyone wanting a copy of any or all of St Paul’s magazines can contact Nigel Mills [email protected] or telephone 01539 536603.

The Way – the free online newspaper of the Church in Cumbria – is published three times a year – spring, summer and winter – with copies being distributed digitally and churches across the county encouraged to share stories.

The Summer edition is now available (carlislediocese.org.uk/way/), and majors on how God is moving in people’s lives throughout Cumbria.

The newspaper is cross-denominational with people actively encouraged to distribute it as widely as possible.
In the latest edition we go on site at BAE Systems Barrow site as a chaplaincy is relaunched serving 13,500 employees, we meet a former nun turned murder-mystery writer, and we hear  from two Cumbrian pilgrims who are currently walking the Camino de Santiago in northern Spain.
We also catch up with members of a new Christian meditation group who meet in Carlisle city centre and meet the Barrow campanologists who are ringing the changes as they go digital!

The 1898 bound book of magazines is now available.
