Church details
The church at Baguley has 13 members and 7 associates.
Founded in 1872, the church has been in its present building for 48 years. It is situated in a large council housing estate near a major hospital and not far from Ringway airport. Most of the church members are retired and the church faces the challenge of a decline in numbers of the first generation residents on the estate, and a recent increase in the numbers of younger people moving in. There are strong links with all the other denominations through the local Churches Together group.
Please pray:
For the continuation of the worship, love and care of the Baguley church and its congregation.
That the church may continue to seek to meet some of the needs of the community and may be a source of light and hope.
That the fellowship enjoyed with the local group of churches for the last thirty years, will continue to be a source of encouragement and strength.
With the Baguley church for justice and peace, and for the removal of debt from those in need, as a new start to a new millennium.
Pilgrim God, lead the people of the Baguley church in your way.
May they find joy in worship and encouragement in fellowship,
challenge from the community and strength from ecumenical relationships.
As they welcome both friends and strangers, deepen their devotion.
and grant them courage, hope and confidence through Christ our Lord.
