Frodsham Churches Together

For nearly 30 years, a group of like-minded people around Frodsham have sought to work together to support each other in friendship and Christian faith. They hope to continue to develop close links between churches and the local community through a range of activities including:

Advent Study Groups look again at the story of Christmas in the Bible.
Christmas Journey. Ready for Advent (the time leading up to Christmas), in 2004 to 2007 Christians from all the local churches worked together to present Christmas Journey.
An ecumenical service at St Laurence's for everyone in Frodsham, including members of all the churches is held on Sunday after Christmas each year.
There is usually a New Year's Eve service at St Laurence' followed by a torchlight procession to the top of Frodsham Hill.
Week of prayer for Christian Unity. Every year the dates are the same, 18 to 25 January, regardless of the days of the week. Praying for unity does not involve prayer for any specific schemes for unity. It is about being faithful to the prayer of Jesus Christ, as seen in John 17, 'that they may be one'. Part of this prayer is quoted in the Frodsham Churches Together logo at the head of this page:
"May they be brought into complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me."
(John's gospel, chapter 17, verse 23).
Lent meetings to look afresh at the Bible, pray together and get to know each other a little better. Lent starts on Ash Wednesday, 25 February in 2009.
Easter Journey. Following on from Christmas Journey a similar Easter Journey was presented by members of all the Frodsham churches in 2007 and 2008.
On Good Friday we meet at Eddisbury Square and follow a cross up to St Laurence where we join the children who have been engaging in their own Good Friday activities.
On Easter Morning we have a sunrise service on Frodsham Hill.
Christian Aid Week seeks to meet the needs of the poor of the world. Envelopes are distributed to houses and collected by volunteers from the churches. Christian Aid week in 2008 was May 11 to 17.
Frodsham Churches Together newsletter is sent to each house in Frodsham several times a year.

Details of forthcoming events where the details are already available are on the events page of this site.
