Welcome to St Cuthbert's Church
St Cuthbert's is steeped in history, our church being the oldest public building in Southport, and often regarded as the "Mother Church of Southport".
We may be an historic church, and our heritage is important to us, but so is our future.
Our church family offers a very warm welcome to everyone to share in the good news of Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today and tomorrow.
We are here for everyone whether you worship regularly with us, only occasionally or even not at all.
We aim to welcome everyone to share in our Church life, to be here to help you celebrate your weddings and basptisms and to offer support and comfort at times of bereavement.
As you browse through our website, using the menu at the top of the page, we hope you will get a "feel" for St Cuthbert's - our worship, fellowship, mission and activities.
The boxes at the bottom of this page will also keep you bang up to date with worship, events and news.
We would love to welcome you and get to know you more.

Harvest Weekend
Sunday 12th October 10.30am
Thanksgiving Service for Harvest in church at 10.30am, followed by a Harvest Lunch in the Parochial Hall (coffee will not be served before the lunch). Cost £10.
Please let us know if you require a vegetarian alternative. Children are warmly invited to attend with their parents/relatives/friends. Should the children not be tempted by a hotpot, they are more than welcome to bring along their lunch boxes filled with goodies!
As usual, there will be a raffle and donation of prizes would be appreciated. A quiz for some friendly competition will also be provided!
Please come along to celebrate Harvest and support the fundraising lunch whilst enjoying a social get together with friends and family.
All proceeds will go to our chosen charity, Motor Neurone Disease.
Harvest is a wonderful opportunity for us to focus on people who are in need of our support and to celebrate with fellowship and faith.
A Prayer for Ukraine
God of peace and justice,
we pray for the people of Ukraine today.
We pray for peace and the laying down of weapons.
We pray for all those who fear for tomorrow,
that your Spirit of comfort would draw near to them.
We pray for those with power over war or peace,
for wisdom, discernment and compassion to guide their decisions.
Above all, we pray for all your precious children, at risk and in fear,
that you would hold and protect them.
We pray in the name of Jesus, the Prince of Peace.
Amen
Archbishop Justin Welby
Archbishop Stephen Cottrell
God of peace and compassion,
We pray for all impacted by the escalation in conflict in Israel-Palestine and for the ongoing war in Ukraine.
For all who are mourning
For all who are fearful today, and for what may lie ahead.
For the traumatised and re-traumatised by what they have experienced.
Enable us to stand in solidarity with people of peace.
May your Spirit bring peace and healing to your troubled world.
Amen
