The last service at St. Savour’s the historic “tin church” in the Rookery, near Kidsgrove will take place on Sunday, September 11th, 2011 at 3pm. A thanksgiving service for 132 years worship there will be held in the presence of the Bishop of Stafford (the Right Reverend Geoffrey Annas).
Everyone who has links with St. Saviour’s or who worshipped there in the past is invited to attend.

Everyone at the Phoenix Trust was delighted to learn that the last service at St. Saviour’s was so well attended. The church was packed. We hope it will be possible to save the the building and turn it into a heritage centre where young people can come to learn about Kidsgrove’s socio-economic history and discover what working conditions were like in the 19th century.
