Ecumenical Worship

Monthly Evening Worship
Churches Together in Heald Green


On the 3rd Sunday of the month, the churches of Heald Green meet together for worship, to learn and grow together in our fellowship and understanding of each others traditions.

The service starts at 6:30pm and moves round the various church buildings each month. The style is informal and usually involves discussion time as part of our worship and learning together. All are welcome. For further details of the next date and venue please visit the Churches Together website at www.healdgreenchurches.org.uk or use the Churches Together link on the right hand of this blog.

Pensioners Plod

Pensioners Plod
a monthly walking club for those trying to stay fit and active

The Pensioners Plod is a walking club which meets monthly for a not too taxing walk of around four miles, followed by a hearty pub lunch. It's a great opportunity to meet new people and make new friends by getting out of the house for few hours. At the same time you're helping yourself to stay fit and active, that is if you don't indulge too much at lunchtime.

There is no charge for joining in, only the cost of your own meal and drinks at lunchtime. We meet at Heald Green United Reformed Church, from where we share transport to our starting point.

Bible Study

Bible Study
Monday 7:30 - 9:00pm at church
Tusday 1:30 - 3:00pm at the manse


At Heald Green United Reformed Church we believe that God's Word can be found in the Bible, but we are most likely to discover what God is saying to us as a church when we read and explore it together.

We have two Bible Study groups, simply to cater for both people who are free in the evenings and the afternoons.

Our meetings are informal and FUN, and often wide ranging in what we discuss.

The format is simple, first we spend time to discuss the previous Sundays service, asking questions, making comments and observations. Then we take time to read all the lectinary passages set for the following Sunday. After reading the passages we discuss as a group any links we find betwen them, before going into a more detailed study and discussion of one or two of the passages. Finally and most importantly we ask the 'So What'? question. What is the relevance of the readings to us, and what we have shared and discovered together. If we don't ask the 'So What' question, our study remains just an interesting evening. If we dare to ask the question, God may speak to us, and our lives will be changed!

The life and health of our church is dependant on a healthy relationship with God's Word.
