Saint Saviour's is the Parish Church for Shotton Colliery. It has been part of the community since it was consecrated in 1854. Our "normal" pattern is to hold Communion with hymns and a sermon at 9:15 am, except on the first Sunday of each month. There is also a midweek Communion service at 9:15 am on a Wednesday.
On the first Sunday each month, we aim to restart our informal service, Breakfast Praise, before long, in the church hall 10.30 -11.30 am. It start with refreshments and includes lively songs and activities for children and adults together.
