 Rector's Message

Welcome to the St Margaret's Church web-site.

My name is Ian Thompson. I am the Rector of St Margaret's, Burnage and have been in post since September 2006. Before that I was Priest-in-charge at St Andrew's, Blackley in north Manchester where I'd served for 9 years since my ordination in 1997.

Rev Ian Thompson

I am married to Jane and we have four grown up children, three of whom are married and the youngest in his second year at university.

Coming to Burnage has been something of a 'home-coming' as we previously lived in the area for 20 years. Our children all attended local schools and we also worshipped at St Margaret's for a time before I started my ordination training.

As a church we have a mission statement which clearly sums up what we are about:

    Together we aim to:

      Worship God
      Proclaim Jesus
      Grow in the Spirit and
      Serve the world

 

We believe that prayer is foundational to our church life. There are at least three corporate prayer times each week in our Parish Centre: Monday at 7pm, Thursday at 7am and Friday at 12 noon.

Ian Thompson, Rector.
