A friendly, relaxed Toddler Group where your little ones can let off some steam and you can be refreshed in the process.

Come along to make new friends, and gain support as you navigate the joys and challenges of parenting!

This is held in the Old School Building (next to the church building, and just behind the funeral directors)

Come along after school for our weekly service for families. We gather in the church around 3.30 (don't worry if you're late) for our lively and interactive service, and then head into the parish room for games and a light tea of toast & crumpets!

Come along to this friendly group and get involved with projects that seek to help those in need.

A friendly and simple said service followed by Coffee Break. A great way to re-orientate yourself mid-week.

Dance & sing! March like a soldier! Run like a Fairy!

This PAYF group using movement and dancing to help your little one express themselves and let off some much needed steam!

In the meantime, you get to be part of this friendly, relaxed group and make some friends along the way.

This is held in the Old School Building (next to the church building, and just behind the funeral directors)

Drop into the Parish Centre for a coffee and a chat - a warm welcome awaits you, whether it's your first time or hundredth!

This year, we are stripping back our Lent Course and going back to basics.

Together, we’re reading the book of Luke and then gathering each week to explore what surprised us, excited us, challenged us, or perhaps, even, confused us.

Come along to this friendly group - if you knit, enjoy sharing patterns and skills. If knitting isn't yet your thing, you could learn a new skill, or, if you prefer, just come along for the natter! We sometimes branch out on a Friday night to the pub as well....?!

ast year, several young people approached us, interested and serious about exploring their faith.

Our Youth Group, Pathway, is a wonderful space to hang out and relax, but we also want to offer a space where we can have good discussion and really wrestle with all the very good questions that young people often think about!

So here is Mettle!

Mettle is the place to explore faith We talk about big themes and big ideas but also play some great games and activities! There’s even pizza and ice cream (and some healthier stuff too !). All free.

We are partnering with Bowdon Church, and so the venue will alternate each week. Do encourage anyone you know to come along – sign up link below!

(Note that we start around 3.45 pm – this is to give students from all the different schools time to get there – but feel free to turn up as soon as school ends)

A support group for parents of children with SEND
Term Time only

Parenting can be quite a path to negotiate, even more so with children that have SEND. So, after many conversations last year, we’re going to put together an informal group where we can share experiences over a cuppa and support each other along the way.
We’re not professionals, and although we’ll invite the SENCO from Altrincham Primary School to chat now and then, it will mainly be us just listening to each other and offering lots of support and encouragement.
You don’t need to come to church on a Sunday, or have a child of a particular age – open to all. Please do spread the word.

Do join us for this said service of communion. This is a small, friendly community where we get to fully enjoy the beauty of the church first thing in the morning.

Our choir meets every Sunday morning at 8:30am, and then, for those that wish, stay to sing at our 9.30am service. So if you sing, or would like to give it a go, why not head down to church and be part of this lovely and friendly community?

hildren are really important to us, and it’s important to us that young children feel at home in their church which we know will come with some noise and energy depending on their mood!

Each Sunday we have some fantastic provision for our children. Normally, they will join us at the start of the service and then go out with Dee and her team to enjoy their own session and let off some much needed steam! Sometimes we have a fun filled family service (for things such as Harvest) at which point they stay in, playing a full part in all that’s going on.

For those younger, and indeed, for any children who would prefer to stay in the service there is a children’s area where they can explore all that’s on offer during the service. Also, as they get older, many of our children play an active role in our services by doing things such as reading and being the acolytes (carrying the candles) which we love!​

After the service, we all gather for coffee and biscuits, and our children get well and truly spoilt!

Church is a wonderful way for children to get comfortable speaking to a wide range of people, and gives their adults some space to reflect on the week and get a hot drink too at the end of it!

The Church of England is in every community, and has been helping people mark the significant moments of life for generations.

Christenings are a wonderful way to celebrate the gift of a child - do get in touch to explore it more and book the date for this very special celebration!

“Thank you so much for the lovely christening….Everyone said how brilliant and calm and interesting [it was] – so thank you for making it perfect” Emily

“thank you so much for the beautiful christening service you delivered on Sunday…. [it] couldn’t have gone any better. Everybody said what a lovely service it was, full of energy” Ben

Exploring the tricky art of parenting!

We have qualifications for this and that, but when it comes to parenting it can feel a little overwhelming, and sometimes quite lonely.
We’re not professionals, but want to provide some space when we can talk about the challenges that parenting can present and together support and encourage each other! At times it will just be open chat, at others, we might go for a slightly more structured approach as we listen to some ideas and discuss how they might/might not work for us.
So do come along, grab a cuppa and make some new friends along the way.

We are delighted to have established a Children’s Choir ‘Alty Trebles’ held in school on a Monday afternoon: in other words, we’re offering free musical tuition that will last your child a lifetime!

Music is an integral part of our life at St George’s. We have seen many examples of how a good musical education has changed the lives for young people for the better. Rev. Claire remembers her time at Bradford Cathedral, when she and her husband saw many of the young choristers form wonderful communities and then go to prestigious Universities on Choral Scholarships – a journey that started in Primary School. We are very keen that pupils from our Parish have the same opportunities.

Therefore, our choir will be fun, it will be developing teamwork at a young age, and giving each child the experience of that buzz as their voices harmonise with each other. Our choir is focused on teaching our pupils how to sing properly, how to read music, and for those that want it, they will be fully prepared to sit the relevant ABRSM exams; setting them up for any musical adventure that they want to peruse in secondary school.

Lots more information on our website - come and be part of it!

Do join us for this friendly, dignified service of communion. Whether this is your first time, or you are returning after time away, or have been coming to church for some time, a warm welcome awaits.

Palm Sunday marks the beginning of Holy Week, when Christians remember Christ’s entry into Jerusalem.

It’s traditional to have a parade, and we shall indeed be having one! (complete with a real life donkey!).

To add to the fun, we’ll be having a community lunch straight afterwards.

So do note the change of time (we get a lie in and start at 11:15) – we’d love you to come along!

More details about the parade coming soon, but if you’d prefer not to parade, meet in church at 11.15….

It is traditional for Christians to spend some time reflection on Jesus’ journey to the cross.

Here at St George’s we would like to give people the opportunity to do that, and we have images of the different stations on the walls of our church.

You are welcome to use the space to reflect on the stations of the cross, or use one of the self guided reflections that we provide too.

In addition to our normal Mid-Week Eucharist on Wednesdays at 10am, this week we gather for two additional Eucharists. Simple, friendly and dignified, they will last around 25 minutes and you are very welcome to be a part of them.

Maundy Thursday is the day when we remember Christ’s last supper and the moment when he washed his disciples’ feet.

This is a traditional service, interweaved with the thoughts, patterns and practices of many centuries of Christians who have gone before us.

But it’s also strikingly challenging and modern; there is something very powerful about remembering the moment when Christ offered himself to all, even those about to betray him, and the Stripping of the Altars that follows speaks strongly into our understanding of consumerism and simplicity.

So even if church isn’t your thing, why not give it a go? We’d love you to be part of it.

A firm fixture in the diary, this morning of Easter themed crafts, games, all followed by a light lunch means that this is the perfect way to start the Easter weekend!

We ask for a minimum ticket donation of £2per child to go towards covering some of our costs; tickets and booking links to follow soon. But, as ever, if cost is an issue, please do get in touch.

Open to all families – at least one adult per family required to stay and supervise please.

Good Friday: A strange term perhaps for a day when Christ died on the cross.

As is traditional, we’ll be gathering together for our 3 Hour Vigil of readings, reflections and music interspersed with silence and contemplation.

There is no expectation for you to stay for the whole three hours, so do come along as best works for you.

Do come and join us for a community tea! A very simple evening – laughter, conversation and hearty food alongside some games and crafts for the kids; time to see old friends and make some new ones too!

Tickets are £3 per person to help cover the cost of the food – if that’s an issue, do get in touch, we want you to be there!

On Holy Saturday, we move towards the resurrection – the defeat of death and the day when history was changed for ever.

So do join us for this traditional service full of symbolism and beauty for all generations. A lot is held in candlelight, with the opportunity for us to renew our baptism vows. It’s been built on many centuries of tradition and is full of wonderful symbolism and gravitas that young and old can enjoy and gasp at.

Then at the end, we simply gather around the Easter fire, enjoying the company of one another as the sun finally sets (and a lot of marshmallows too!).

Whether this is completely new, or a yearly practice, do come and be part of it – we’d love to have you there.

On Easter Day, the tables are literally turned and the light of Christ shines so brightly that even death itself cannot put it out.

So celebrate we will!

With an all age service and an Easter Egg hunt for the children, complete with celebratory moment at the end (last year we had some confetti canons!), this is a wonderful way to start your Easter Day!
