Father Richard believes adult Baptism should be memorable

Young People's rainbow

"Who put the colours in the rainbow?" The young people have made a rainbow of handprints for the welcome board in the Church. Please do not mention my glittery hands!

Good Friday Young People's Service

Jackie Calow provided a Seder meal at the "Come to the Cross" service for the young people of the Church on Good Friday, as she says below:

"The message was to remember the story of the Passover, its significance for us throughout Holy Week and especially on Maunday Thursday and how Jesus is the new Passover Lamb. All traditional Seder foods were made and shared, including lots of grape juice instead of glasses of wine"

Exhibition: Stations of the Cross

If you are in Manchester before May 14th, I thoroughly recommend a visit to the Cathedral to experience this series of paintings by Ghislaine Howard. The large, stark canvases vividly express the central gospel message in a powerful and challenging way. They are profoundly moving. There are accompanying leaflets providing further stimulation in the form of poetry and meditations.

Good Friday to Easter Day

Chocolate Raffle and Fondue

Simon and Summer at the chocolate fondue. We were sorry to miss Denise who was indisposed.

The event raised £110 for church funds, a big thank you to everyone who took part.

Chocolate Raffle and Fondue

Yes, we know it is Lent, but we have had special dispensation from Father Richard. Apparently, theologically speaking, Sundays are not part of the 40 days of Lent, so the Chocolate Raffle and Fondue event will be held in the Church hall after the 9.30 am service this Sunday, 7th March.
