On Saturday 7th June 2025, Greater Manchester Churches Together (GMCT) joined together for the Eve of Pentecost service at St Ann’s church in Manchester city centre. Rev Sharon Read, Mission Area Lead and Deputy Chair for Lancashire, attended the service on behalf of the North West England District. This was the first of such celebrations which was joyful and diverse. This service was led by Rev Alan Kennedy, the new administrator for GMCT, and the preacher was Rev Glayne Worgan, a Trustee of GMCT.
