Thy Kingdom Come – A Time of Prayer for Our Community
Each year, Christians across the world join together for Thy Kingdom Come, a global wave of prayer between Ascension Day and Pentecost. What began as an invitation from the Archbishops of Canterbury and York has grown into a worldwide movement, with millions of people praying for their communities, friends, and families.

At St George’s Church Altrincham we will be marking this special season by creating space for prayer in a variety of ways. Everyone is warmly invited to take part – whether you pray regularly, haven’t prayed in a long time, or aren’t quite sure where to begin.

What is Thy Kingdom Come?
Thy Kingdom Come is a time when Christians pray especially for God’s kingdom to grow in the world and in the lives of those around us. It is a simple but powerful invitation: to pause, pray, and seek God’s blessing for our communities.

During these days, people across the world are praying the same simple prayer that Jesus taught his followers: “Thy kingdom come.”

I’ve never prayed before…
That’s absolutely fine - why not use this time as an invitation to give it a go? Prayer doesn’t have to be complicated or formal. At its heart, prayer is simply taking a moment bringing our thoughts, hopes, worries before God - no special language needed!

During Thy Kingdom Come, our church will be open to provide quiet and creative spaces to help people pray in their own way. You might like to sit quietly for a few moments, walk the prayer labyrinth, light a candle, or simply pause to reflect.

St George

Welcome to St George's!

A place to be with God:

Express, grow and explore your faith.  We are a welcoming community of faith that seeks to honour the traditions of the church in a way that revives, refreshes and equips us for our life in the present, and helps guides us for the opportunities & challenges of the future.

A place for everyone to belong:

We are a multi-generational community, drawn from all walks of life.

During the winter months we will often talk about how we are a ‘warm’ church both in terms of the temperature, but, more importantly, in our welcome as people come explore life at St George’s at their own pace.

We welcome everyone, regardless of what age you are, how much noise you (or your children!) make. If you, or your children, have special needs we will seek to work with you to make sure that St George’s is a place you can call home too.

A living, active community:

We believe that our faith makes a difference to how we live and work. We are committed to serving our parish and beyond during the week. Do come and be part our coffee mornings, Knit & Natter & Soup Lunch – regardless of whether you come to our services or not.
