Prayer for the month
Gracious Creator,
in your world of generosity, give us gratitude,
in your world of variety, give us wonder,
in your world of beauty, give us delight,
in your world of plenty, give us generosity,
in a world of pain, give us your sympathy,
in a world of hardship, give us your compassion,
in a world of need, give us your creativity,
in a world of loneliness, give us your love,
through the work of our Saviour
  and the energy of your Spirit.   Amen.

Our mission

St.Wilfrid’s is the Church of England ( i.e. “Anglican,” or “Episcopalian”) Parish Church for Northenden, a district in the Wythenshawe area of south Manchester, UK.
Our aim is to honour God as we worship him, using both traditional and modern C of E forms of service; to share the good news of what Jesus Christ taught about life, God, and our relationship with him, and what he achieved for us through his death and resurrection; to offer support, spiritual or practical, to people in times of need or crisis, and in the normal routine and adventure of living; to encourage people to serve God in and through their daily lives, whether in their church activities, or in their “normal” life in work, family and community; to help people grasp more clearly the Christian understanding of life, the world and everything, through discussion and teaching.
Christians have been worshipping on the site of St. Wilfrid’s Parish Church for almost 1000 years and the present historic and beautiful building remains the focus for an active congregation in the 21st Century.
