2nd, 4th & 5th SUNDAYS: 6pm – EVENSONG

3rd SUNDAY (16 January): 6pm – HEALING SERVICE

The services are led mainly by our Team Vicar, Reverend Carol Hayden, and Canon David Dunn, a retired minister.

Covid Precautions: The Church Council has met and while we are asking people to continue to wear a face-covering as they come in and out of church (through the doorways) we feel it is safe for the congregation, once in the pews to sit or stand, sing, speak etc without the need for a mask. We are aware how prevalent the virus is not least through schools but we think this is a good balance of precaution and freedoms. Let us know your thoughts and tell us if it feels about right.

St Anne's Church, Turton

Manchester

https://www.stanneswithstjames.co.uk

The church is dedicated to St. Anne, the mother of the Virgin Mary and is situated on High Street in Chapeltown, Turton.

Those who worship here regularly are privileged to live in this very beautiful part of Lancashire.

This splendid church is set in delightful grounds which give it an air of peace and tranquillity. It has been aptly called "the cathedral on the hill". If you take a visit to the church we know you will return to your home refreshed in body, mind and spirit. As you look around, spare a thought for the generations of parishioners who have worshipped here, been baptised in the font, married at the Chancel steps and who are now resting in God's acre outside.
