A Prayer Gate

for 10 days, 8 hours, 30 mins
St George
Church Road Altrincham, WA14 4TT, United Kingdom

Christians will often use a 'prayer tree' to hang prayers on, but here at St George's we decided to make use of our gates!

So if you'd like to tie a ribbon in memory of someone, or as a symbol of a prayer, do pop along from Thursday 14th May and add yours to the gate...

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.
