Civil Partnerships on Religious Premises
In June 2011 we submitted our agreed response to the Government's Consultation regarding the hosting of civil partnerships on religious premises.
The Government's Equalities Office has now considered all responses and has published a summary of responses and the changes that the Government has made to the proposed legislation as a result of the Consultation Exercise.

Church Events and Activities
Open Door Community Cafe
The cafe opened in early October 2019 as part of the ministry of Bryn I.M. Church. It is a not-for–profit undertaking and, when overheads are covered, any surplus proceeds are donated to a local charity.
Although we have had coffee mornings before, this venture was the first of its kind and demanded new ways of thinking. However, we have a fantastic team of volunteers who have combined talent, expertise and a lot of hard work to get this vision up and running.
In December 2019 we were inspected by Wigan Council’s Environmental Health Department and were delighted to achieve the top rating of 5 for food hygiene. This was an in-depth examination that covered staff training, suitability of the premises and appropriate procedures to ensure the safety of visitors and staff alike. When we were inspected again in April 2024 We retained our 5 star rating.
As the name of the café suggests, everyone is welcome and we would particularly like to meet those living in the local area who don’t know us.
Our hours of opening are from 10.30am to 1.30pm on the first Friday of each month. We serve drinks, snacks and light lunches and our changing menu is always wholesome and good value for money.
We already have a valued group of loyal customers but we love to welcome new people too. Please feel free to visit when you are able. We think you’ll be glad you discovered us!
Listen Again
If you missed a message or if you wish to hear a message again, most are now available to borrow on CD. They are on display in the Narthex or the Schoolroom.
You can borrow them to lend to others who are not able to attend church or who you think may benefit from hearing them.
Alternatively, members of the church can download or listen to recent messages on-line.
