St. Edmund's, Whalley Range
We are a multi-ethnic all-age congregation where everyone is welcomed and included in the life of our church.
Quotes from members:
"When I first came to church I felt although I'd left home, I had come back home, because it was so welcoming" - Thelma (who came from Barbados in 1965)
"St. Ed's has always been mission minded. A number of people have gone to work in the mission field" - Shirley
"After losing my husband I was invited to the Coffee Morning at St. Ed's, and then to the Sunday morning congregation, and now I'm a different woman!' - Doreen
Our Parish
St Edmund's Parish covers part of Whalley Range and the Alexandra Park Estate in Moss Side. Our northern boundary is Moss Lane West, our southern boundary is Brantingham Road. We are in a United Benefice with the parish of St. James' with St. Clement's Moss Side.
Our main English Language service is at 10:30am on a Sunday morning. Twice a month this is a Holy Communion service.
5th Sunday of the month we have a joint service hosted at either St Edmund's or St James in rotation.
Worship Style
At St Edmund's, our style of worship is broadly evangelical, based around C.of E. Common Worship, with bible-based teaching to encourage us to show the love of God in our community. We sing a range of traditional and contemporary hymns and songs, led by the Music Group and organist.
We start off all together and then most weeks children move to a separate room for age-appropriate teaching and activities. Sometimes we all stay together for all-age-worship.
