St Andrew

Manchester

Welcome to St Andrew's Eccles.

Everyone is welcome to join us for worship at 11:15 am every Sunday. The church is also open for strictly private prayer from 8:30 am to 9:30 am every weekday (Monday to Friday). Please remember that everyone should wear a face covering or mask in church unless exempted from doing so and should maintain social distancing from anyone who is not part of the same household.

Unfortunately our community events are postponed until further advice from the government about safely restarting is received.

The Distribution Centre run by the Salford Foodbank in church on Mondays 1-3 pm remains open as this is allowed under lockdown regulations. (Please note people needing to obtain food from the foodbank can only do so if they have been issued with a voucher. Please see https://salford.foodbank.org.uk for more information)

We will update this page as soon as we know when we can reopen to be able to host our normal Sunday service, community events and our Friday Service of Holy Communion.
