Very proud to be flying the flag for OPC at the Whit Friday Saddleworth churches walk yesterday. It was a great morning and very good to see old friends including Bishop Rupert H***e and Gesine, as well as making new ones. Thank you to Christ Church, Friezland, for allowing me to join in! Greenfield Brass Band led us with distinction.

Thank you to Oldham Council which has honoured its commitment to provide flowers for the Parish Church this weekend. The flowers were for the Mayoral Service due to take place on Sunday but now postponed because of stalemate in the Council. Nevertheless the flowers have been provided so that the church looks beautiful for Whitsuntide. Credit where it's due! Please join us in church this Sunday at 10.30am as we celebrate Whit Sunday - Pentecost. 🙏

Very good to welcome the Oldham Scouting Family (Squirrels, Beavers, Cubs and Scouts) to Oldham Parish Church yesterday for the St George's Day service. Great to have a full church and to witness the renewal of promises:
"On my honour I promise to do my duty to God and the King, to help other people, and to keep the Scout Law."

Happy St George’s Day. We fly the flag of St George at Oldham Parish Church, not as a symbol of exclusion, but of hope, courage, and welcome.
St George himself was not English. He came from what we now know as Palestine, a reminder that the roots of our faith and our story are beautifully diverse. His life has come to symbolise standing up to injustice, protecting the vulnerable, and choosing courage over fear.
As a Church of England community, we hold onto these deeper values. We celebrate St George not as a figure who belongs to one nation or one people, but as a sign that God’s love and liberation are for all.
That’s why we also commit ourselves to welcoming the stranger, standing alongside refugees, and recognising the dignity of every person, whatever their race, gender, sexuality, age, ability, background, or story.
The cross of St George is not just a national emblem; it can also be a sign of hospitality, justice, and belonging.
*All* are welcome here.
