COGGES:

Parish Newsletter

Cogges Parish Monthly Newsletter

Cogges Parish started publishing a monthly newsletter in 1977, with 10 or 11 issues per year (there was usually a July/August issue and recently December/January). The newsletter was printed as a two-sided sheet of A4 paper, folded into three panels, and was distributed to every home in the parish. We introduced a colour edition (folded A3) in 2004, published three times a year, with the A4 edition in intervening months.

We now print only the colour edition, "Crosstalk", but have increased the frequency to four times a year.

Each issue includes details of the month's services and other events, a report on recent baptisms, weddings and funerals, and brief articles on church activities.

Each issue also includes a "leading article", and the following are from recent issues:
