Blue Christmas Tree

Every day at for 23 hours, 45 mins
Please note that this event will not start until
St George
Church Road Altrincham, WA14 4TT, United Kingdom
Within all the excitement and anticipation of Christmas, we are also deeply aware that Christmas can be a really difficult time – especially if you are missing someone you loved.

With this in mind we have in the church our ‘Blue Christmas Tree’ – a tree lit up with blue lights where you can add the names of those who you wish to remember. You can also add a prayer to it if something is feeling just a bit much at the moment.

It’s available during school hours and in all our services right up to the New Year.

Reverse Advent Calendar

Every day at for 23 hours, 45 mins
Please note that this event will not start until
St George
Church Road Altrincham, WA14 4TT, United Kingdom
Have you heard of a Reverse Advent Calendar?

This is becoming a well-established tradition at St George’s. The idea is to concentrate on giving rather than receiving. The reverse advent calendar allows you to donate items of food for each day of advent. It can be festive or everyday (non-perishable) food. Then, on some point before Sunday 22nd, bring your bag to church or drop it off at the Parish Centre; we will take them to the Hope Centre Foodbank for those that need help this Christmastide.

Festival Choir

Every Sunday at for 1 hour
Please note that this event will not start until
St George
Church Road Altrincham, WA14 4TT, United Kingdom
We’ve been delighted to restart our choir, and cannot wait for some stunning anthems to be sung!

We’re also really conscious that not everyone can make regular rehearsals on a Sunday, but that there is something thrilling about singing traditional carols in a candlelit church. So, as with last year, we’re looking to swell our ranks by opening up the invitation to anyone who wants to be part of the choir for our Candlelit carols to come and join us for rehearsal on the 1st, 8th & 15th December , before going live on the 22nd! Do make as many rehearsals as you can; the key one is Sunday 15th.

Head into church and follow the noise!

Carols by Candlelight is held on Saturday 21st December at 7pm.

Freely you have received; freely give’ Matthew 10:8
A wonderful way to start the Christmas Season on the right foot!

It’s wonderful every year to see our children getting excited about their Christmas gifts and what Santa might be bringing them. Many have been planning their letters to Santa for months!

However, we also know the importance of giving as well as receiving, and we invite you to be part of our Toy Donation Service where we partner with The Hope Centre to collect gifts for children who might not otherwise receive any this year.

Please bring new, unwrapped gifts for children aged 0-18.
