St Mary's and St James'

Experience Pentecost all ready and waiting for the first class. It should be a wonderful day. A huge thankyou to all the volunteers and organisers for providing this amazing experience for our pupils.

🙏 We pray today for the High Crompton and Thornham Benefice, @StMarysStJames #PrayforManchester

It was great to join @StMarysCE in @StMarysStJames as they experienced Pentecost this morning!

Pentecost 2019... see details of our services and events tomorrow. Hope to see you there!

This week the devastating news was announced that Revd Canon Alan Butler, our much-loved Vicar, spiritual guide and friend, died on Monday. Please keep his family in your prayers. Fr Alan's funeral will take place on Monday 29 April, at 1pm at St Mary's Church, High Crompton.

The final event of the Triduum (the great Three Days of Holy Week) is the climax of the entire Christian year... the Easter Vigil and First Eucharist of Easter. St Mary's, High Crompton at 8.00pm tomorrow (Saturday 20th). See stmarys-stjames.org/easter-vigil for more information.

A reminder that this evening there is a quiet, contemplative service of the 'Stations of the Cross', accompanying Jesus on his way to Calvary. Don't worry if you've never been to one before, it will all be explained. 6pm at St Mary's, High Crompton.

After Maundy Thursday, the next event in the "Triduum" (the great Three Days of Holy Week) is the solemn and moving Liturgy of Good Friday. 2.00pm at St James', Thornham. For more information, see stmarys-stjames.org/good-friday

Our shared Maundy Thursday liturgy is at 7.30pm tonight at St James' Church, Thornham. See stmarys-stjames.org/maundy-thursday for more. After the service, the 'garden of repose' is available until midnight for anyone who wishes to spend some time in silence and reflection before God.
