"Sharing the love of Jesus with all through friendship, prayer & service"
Welcome to St Matthew's Church, Stretton!
Our church building is on Stretton Road, just opposite the Park Royal Hotel. We are part of the Church of England Diocese of Chester and our parish covers Stretton and parts of Appleton. We are linked to St Cross Church, Appleton Thorn, just down the road.
Sunday services are usually held at 9.00 AM, 10.30 AM, and 6.30 PM. (These times vary occasionally, so please check weekly notices or contact us to check.) We also have a midweek communion service on Thursdays at 10.30 AM. If you want to call in to have a look at the church, the best time is usually on a Wednesday morning when we are open for coffee.
On Friday afternoons, we hold our Praise & Play service. This is aimed at children not yet at school and their parents and other carers. You can expect singing, a bible story, craft activities and a drink and a snack.
We have a church school, Stretton St Matthew's Church of England Primary. The school holds services in church each half-term and the church provides a weekly assembly. For details of admissions, please see the school’s website.

The Children's Society House Box Collection Autumn 2020Usually at this time I would be asking all Children’s Society house box holders to be making arrangements for the box to be emptied and the monies banked by myself to the Children’s Society. As we know too well however, 2020 has not really worked out routinely in so many ways. This year I have been in communication with the Children’s Society and to avoid unnecessary handling of cash, it is much preferred that any monetary donations be made by cheque. In order that the donations be allocated against St Matthew’s and St Cross churches, please can you let me know by email, text or phone call the AMOUNT you have transferred and WHEN. Should you prefer to donate by cheque, please make your cheque payable to THE CHILDREN’S SOCIETY and leave it in church in an envelope marked for my attention THANK YOU very much indeed for your support.
