Maundy Thursday service at Swettenham Church

for 1 hour
St Peter's Church, Swettenham
Swettenham Lane Swettenham Congleton, CW12 2LF, United Kingdom

We will hold a candlelit service commemorating Jesus' last supper. The service is the beginning of three days following the story of Jesus' final three days. This recalls Jesus' time in the garden of Gethsemane, and we are invited to consider with Jesus how we choose to live our lives.
This is a joint service for all the Rural Daneside Churches and all are welcome to come.

St James & St Paul, Marton

Welcome to the parish church of St James and St Paul in Marton, near Macclesfield, in Cheshire.

We are part of the Church of England in the Diocese of Chester, serving the small (but perfectly formed) village of Marton, a few miles north of Congleton. Our church building is (we think) the oldest of its kind still in use in Europe, and we are rather fond of it.

It was founded in 1343, and much of what was built then is still here. We hope that both the building and the worshipping community will be here for another few centuries at least.

For any enquiries, please use the "Get in Touch" page.
