“No good thing will God withhold from those who walk with integrity”
— Psalm 84:11

St Bride’s and Open Table Liverpool invites YOU to our sixteenth birthday celebration and communion service.
YOU are more than welcome to come as you are.

In June 2008, six people gathered at the first Open Table service with a vision to start a regular communion service for the LGBTQIA+ community. On the cover of the early orders of service was the above quote from Psalm 84 from which this celebration takes inspiration.

16 years later, the Liverpool community hosts around 50 people each month, and more than 35 other communities now meet across England and Wales, hosting hundreds more each month, and reaching thousands online.
We have much to celebrate!

Join us for a celebration and thanksgiving communion service led by the The Revd Canon Dr Robert Clack, Associate Archdeacon of Liverpool.

Doors open at 6pm - refreshments will be served before the service at 6.30pm. The service will be followed by refreshments, and of course rainbow cake!

Otherwise, feel free to continue to tune in on zoom. I, Warren, will be on zoom to welcome you (see below for joining details.)

St Bride's

St Bride’s is the Church of England’s Parish Church for the University and Canning area of Liverpool. We are committed to a vision of faith which is creative in worship, progressive in thought and inclusive of everyone. We’re offering something radically different from most mainstream churches. Come and join us!

We meet for worship every Sunday at 10am except on the last Sunday of the month which is a joint service rotating around the churches in our team. In March this will be at St Michael in the City at 11.15am; in April here at St Bride's as usual (with our Annual Meeting); and in May at St Dunstan's at 10am.

We also have a rotating programme of evening services. Please sign up for our e-news using the button at the bottom of our website homepage to be kept up to date: St Bride's Liverpool (stbridesliverpool.org.uk)

Weddings, Christenings and Funerals can be booked here when the church is not in use by other groups, and can also be hosted at our sister church St Dunstan's, so please do get in touch  if you would like to arrange one of these - either come along to a service and say hello, or email [email protected].

The church can be booked for regular groups or some one-off events; please be in touch with our bookings administrator Jackie on [email protected] to enquire about a booking. Please leave plenty of time for bookings!
