Baptism Bookings
Please note that we currently are without our own Vicar and baptisms are limited to the first Sunday in the month, at 12:30. Please use the Baptism Enquiry form to enquire about possible dates.
We are currently in interregnum and there is a shortage of Clergy in the area who are able to take our services. This means that sometimes our worship will be led by our
wardens or other members of our Church. As only members of the Clergy can lead communion, some Sundays we will be holding a Morning Prayer service, and a Worship for All service occasionally aided by our Junior Church group. Please continue to support us during this period and perhaps come and enjoy a more traditional service.
Many thanks to everybody who helped or visited our Annual Spring Fair
PROJECT UPDATE
Following the renovation of the south side of our church in 2016 ( as seen here ), funded with the help of a grant from the 'Listed Places of Worship' fund, we have now received a grant of £233,000 from the 'National Lottery Heritage Fund' towards the £300,000 project for the renovation of the North side Parapet and gutters, etc., together with the replacement of all of our 178 year old roof.
At the end of 16th week of the project and the last slates are being placed so we now have a water-tight roof and gutters. (as seen here ) In the upper lounge, the old bar has been cleared away and installation of the a new kitchenette is now virtually completed. An up-to-date emergency lighting system has been installed in all our building, with new LED lighting in the both the upper and lower lounges which should cut our annual electricity demand by up to 2500 KwH per year.
Many grateful thanks to the National Lottery Heritage Fund for their generous grant.
We are continuing to fund raise in order to carry out a major renovation project on our 178 year old historic RENN organ once we have a secure roof.

St George's Church Stalybridge is a community of Anglican (Church of England) worshippers. We are currently in interegnum following the retirement of our Vicar, the Revd. Philip Brierley. Philip was an ordained Local Minister and had been our Curate for many years. He was made Priest-in-Charge in 2013 and was licensed as Vicar on the 11th of September 2016.
We gather for worship on Sundays and Tuesdays during the week. This is usually for the Eucharist (or Holy Communion) that we believe is the central act of Christian worship. We also meet in order to be of service to others. This takes different forms:
Our Weekly Services (Any variations will be detailed on our weekly sheet) Sunday 10.30 a.m. Holy Communion and Junior Church (4th Sunday Worship for All) 6.00 p.m. Occasional Special Services as announced Tuesday 10.30 a.m. Holy Communion (currently suspended during the interegnum ) Sunday & Tuesday Morning Readings Daily Prayer for today Daily Prayer provided by the official Church of England web site, To receive Communion at home when you are sick or housebound or to have the name of a departed friend or relation entered into the Book of Remembrance, please contact one of the Wardens.
