Good Friday Three Hours at the Cross

Occuring
for 3 hours
Venue
St George
Address
Church Road Altrincham, WA14 4TT, United Kingdom

Good Friday: A strange term perhaps for a day when Christ died on the cross.

As is traditional, we’ll be gathering together for our 3 Hour Vigil of readings, reflections and music interspersed with silence and contemplation.

There is no expectation for you to stay for the whole three hours, so do come along as best works for you.

Easter Eve

Occuring
for 1 hour
Venue
St George
Address
Church Road Altrincham, WA14 4TT, United Kingdom

On Holy Saturday, we move towards the resurrection – the defeat of death and the day when history was changed for ever.

So do join us for this traditional service, with the opportunity for us to renew our baptism vows. It’s been built on many centuries of tradition and is full of wonderful symbolism and gravitas.

Then at the end, we simply gather around the Easter fire, enjoying the company of one another as the sun finally sets (and a few marshmallows too!).

Whether this is completely new, or a yearly practice, do come and be part of it – we’d love to have you there.

Junior Church

Occuring
Every Sunday at for 1 hour
Venue
St George
Address
Church Road Altrincham, WA14 4TT, United Kingdom

hildren are really important to us, and it’s important to us that young children feel at home in their church which we know will come with some noise and energy depending on their mood!

Each Sunday we have some fantastic provision for our children. Normally, they will join us at the start of the service and then go out with Dee and her team to enjoy their own session and let off some much needed steam! Sometimes we have a fun filled family service (for things such as Harvest) at which point they stay in, playing a full part in all that’s going on.

For those younger, and indeed, for any children who would prefer to stay in the service there is a children’s area where they can explore all that’s on offer during the service. Also, as they get older, many of our children play an active role in our services by doing things such as reading and being the acolytes (carrying the candles) which we love!​

After the service, we all gather for coffee and biscuits, and our children get well and truly spoilt!

Church is a wonderful way for children to get comfortable speaking to a wide range of people, and gives their adults some space to reflect on the week and get a hot drink too at the end of it!

Alongside Altrincham CE Primary School we're delighted to be starting a children’s choir!

This choir will be held weekly after school and will be a fun and a fantastic community. Our choir will be focused on teaching our pupils how to sing properly, how to read music and for those that want it, they will be fully prepared to sit the relevant ABRSM exams—setting them up for any musical adventure that they want to peruse in secondary school. In other words, we’ll be able to offer free musical tuition that will last your child a lifetime.

Many of us are not musical, but have a child who has been given opportunities to be well taught and nurtured in all things music, and we can testify to the life changing difference that it makes and the opportunities that come from it.
