Please come and join us for our shorter service.
We are hoping you will join us, as we hope the service will:
Enable different ages to contribute to worship together;
Encourage people to see church as “shared experience” and recognise we need each other;
Make worship more accessible to people who do not feel able to attend church regularly and to our many visitors provide a change in our usual pattern of services;
Will be suitable for all-adult congregations as well as young people.
For those families who have busy lives it is shorter in length than a usual Sunday Service.

At the heart of the service is an opportunity to remember our loved ones who have died. Their names can be read out in the service and a flickering candle can be held in their memory.

We meet every Monday except for Bank Holidays and the Christmas and New Year period to tidy up the church and graveyard and do other simple tasks.
If you feel able to help our group of volunteers, we would be very grateful. After our hard work we always enjoy tea/coffee and biscuits together.

Our Fayre will be open from 10.30am to 2.30pm with numerous stalls, bbq, hot drinks, etc. Father Christmas will also be present for children to have their photos taken with him between 11am and 12pm and 1pm and 2pm.
There are some mobility restrictions in the church. Disabled access to the church is via the lych gate on Bridges Lane. Please note there are no disabled toilets.

This is a celebratory family event that takes place in thousands of churches and schools across the country, raising funds that help the Children's Society to continue their work supporting young people. Christingle celebrations are named after the "Christingles" (oranges with a candle) that are lit and given out to everyone present during the service. The orange is a symbolic object as Christingle means 'Christ Light' and is used to celebrate Jesus Christ as the "Light of the World". There will be some Nativity costumes available for any children who wish to help out in the service.

PLEASE WRAP UP WARM - ALTHOUGH WE HAVE THE HEATING ON SEFTON CHURCH CAN BE COLD!

Our social group will meet this month for our Christmas Party with a light hearted quiz, bingo and carols. There will also be festive refreshments. A small charge of £3 will be requested on the door to cover costs.
Please note that entry is via the vestry door near the car park at the back of church. If you require help for access, please ask on arrival. A wheelchair ramp is available. Please note that we do not have full disabled toilet facilities.

As we begin Christmas week and our Lord's birthday approaches, we look forward to the special day.
The church will be lit by candlelight and gas lamps.
PLEASE WRAP UP WARM. ALTHOUGH WE HAVE THE HEATING ON, OUR CHURCH CAN BE VERY COLD.

We will be having our special Christmas Eve Service of Holy Communion on 24th December (Christmas Eve) at 11pm. The church will be lit by candlelight and gas lamps.
PLEASE WRAP UP WARM DURING THE WINTERTIME. ALTHOUGH WE HAVE THE HEATING ON, OUR CHURCH CAN BE VERY COLD.

This will be a Holy Communion and Carols service at St Oswald's Church, Netherton.
Sefton Church will be closed on this day.

It is a traditional English celebration of the beginning of the agricultural year that has seen some revival over recent years. Plough Sunday celebrations involve a plough being the central focus in church with prayers being said for the blessing of the land. It is traditionally held on the Sunday after Epiphany.
All are welcome to join us.

This Holy Communion service commemorates the ritual purification of Mary, 40 days after the birth of her son Jesus and the ritual presentation of the baby Jesus to God in the Temple at Jerusalem. The festival is called Candlemas because this was the day that all the Church's candles for the year were blessed. We will all hold a flickering candle during the service.

We welcome all baptisms of children or adults. Baptism is an outward sign of us expressing a belief in the God who loves us, it is a sign of belonging to God’s family and it is a beginning to get to know more about God.

Our service of baptism is held during our morning service (11am) on the 4th Sunday of the month. There is no charge for the service but we always welcome a donation on the collection plate.
