While all of our resources are FREE for you to download, we would ask that you make a thank you offering if you have found them to be of use. This very much helps us to resource God's people both within our parish and beyond. EVERY gift, however large or small is valued. Please click the 'Donate Now' button if you are able to make an offering. Bless you, and thank you.

DOWNLOADS
all of these files are in pdf format. If you have adobe acrobat professional you will be able to extract information and graphics. If you run Microsoft Publisher I will be able to forward documents to you to edit. This will allow you to 'make them your own', if you wish. Please use the contact form (below) to obtain your copy.

INTERESTED IN A CLERGY EXCHANGE?
This part of the United Kingdom, with its close proximity to Manchester (some call it the 'London of the North') we are ideally placed at the foothills of the Pennines, as well as being within easy reach of the thriving multi-cultural heart of Manchester.

The Parish of East Crompton St James is a very busy Parish, with 3 church schools (2 primary and 1 secondary), as well as many occasional offices, pastoral visiting, Child Care provision (through our parish's own private Child Care Village).....and plenty more besides.

This parish could provide an interesting base for a vacation exchange (minimum duties: Sunday morning - Eucharists at 8am, 9.30am, 11am, and midweek - Tuesday 7.30pm, Thursday 10am). The Vicarage is a very spacious, victorian building (5 bedrooms) which would make a superb family base.

If you are interested in a potential clergy vacation exchange (3-4 weeks) and have been episcopally ordained in the Anglican Communion, and have been in priest's orders for at least 5 years, please use the contact form above to get in touch. Please remember that if you are interested, both clergy will need to consult with their respective Bishop prior to fixing arrangements.

Applicants from Canada, ECUSA and Aotearoa particularly welcome.
