Christmas 2025

A warm welcome from Revd Tom and Revd Kausar.

As part of the Church of England in the Diocese of Manchester, we are blessed with a vibrant family of four congregations: two English-speaking, our Urdu-speaking Grace Community Church, and our Marathi fellowship. This Christmas, we invite you to join us at St James and St Edmund’s as we celebrate the light, hope, and joy of Jesus’ birth. Whoever you are, you are welcome.

Come and share the season with us.

Planning your Visit

A Warm Hello

Whether you’re new to church or just new to the area, you are very welcome at St James, Moss Side and St Edmund’s, Whalley Range.

Our Sunday services begin at 10.30am at both churches and last just over an hour. They are relaxed, welcoming and easy to follow, even if you’ve never been to church before. We share in prayers, songs, a short Bible-based talk, and there is an optional opportunity to receive Holy Communion. Our music includes a mix of modern worship songs and well-loved hymns.

At the end of the service, the team would be glad to pray with you if you would like. Everyone is warmly invited to stay afterwards for drinks and biscuits, and often there is a home-baked treat to enjoy while getting to know others.

Children and families are a valued part of our church life.
At St James, children are fully included in our intergenerational worship, with a resource table in the worship space.
At St Edmund’s, we have all-age worship on the 1st and 3rd Sundays, and Sunday School on the 2nd and 4th Sundays.

If you would like to plan a visit or ask any questions, please get in touch — we would love to welcome you.
