St Michael’s Rogationtide Celebrations 2026: 9th and 10th May

for 1 day, 7 hours, 45 mins
Holy Trinity
Rosemary Lane Formby, L37 3HA, United Kingdom

On Saturday 9th May we plan to “Beat the Bounds” by walking part of our parish. We plan to meet outside St Stephen’s Church in Hightown at 9.15 and from there walk back to Formby on the path beside the railway. We will stop for coffee for about half an hour at Bill’s Field (off Ravenmeols Lane).

The second leg of the walk will take us from Bill’s Field at 11.30 through Little Altcar and Pinewood Park, across the bypass and along the New Causeway to St Michael’s church in Great Altcar where will stop for a picnic lunch.

The third leg of the walk will start from church at about 2pm and take us on a circular walk over the fields and back to church.
We warmly invite members from both St Michael’s and Holy Trinity to join us in celebrating Rogation. Anyone who would like to join us on one or more sections of the walk would be most welcome. Or you could just meet us at Bill’s Field or St Michael’s church.

Celebrations will continue Rogation Sunday, 10th May, with a service at 9.30am where we will offer prayers for the land and our farmers. Church will be open in the afternoon and there will be afternoon tea before the traditional evensong service at 4pm

Holy Trinity

Holy Trinity church In the Diocese of Liverpool, where everyone is invited, included and important.

Holy Trinity Church, Rosemary Lane was established over 100 years ago, to meet the needs of a growing village community. Since then the village has become a small town but nobody would ever consider describing it as anything but a village.

It is not surprising therefore that many refer to our Rosemary Lane buildings as – ‘The Church in the Village’

Actually our premises are far more than just a church building. We have a large Parish Hall which is used widely by the community and a smaller Hall, called ‘The Workshop’, which is used by our thriving Uniformed Organizations and many other community groups. On a Saturday morning it is a drop in café, where many enjoy a bacon bap, a drink and a natter.

We provide a variety of worship at Rosemary Lane, designed to meet the different needs of our members. Our 8.30am service is a conventional Holy Communion service following Common Worship with two hymns. At 10.00am we hold a contemporary service focused on families and then at 11.15am a conventional service of Morning Worship.

I am sure that you will find a service that will suit your personal needs and can assure you of a warm welcome, whether as a visitor, or as someone who is looking for a church community, where they might wish to become regularly involved. Either way, we look forward to welcoming you to Holy Trinity.
