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!

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.

Junior Church

Occurring
Every Sunday at for 1 hour
Venue
St George
Address
Church Road Altrincham, WA14 4TT, United Kingdom

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!

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.

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.
