STAND Unitarian Chapel will celebrate its 50th anniversary this weekend with a commemorative service.
The anniversary marks the opening of the rebuilt chapel, in Ringley Road, Whitefield, after the original building was bombed during the Second World War.
The address at Saturday's service will be made by Mrs Dawn Buckle, president of the General Assembly of Unitarian and Free Christian Churches. Special guests will be the Mayor and Mayoress of Bury, Couns Barry and Sharon Briggs, and Ivan Lewis MP.
There will be performances by the children's choir and chapel choir and a junior member will play a piano solo.
Following the service, which starts at 4pm, refreshments will be served in a marquee and the schoolroom for more than 250 guests, who will include past and present chapel members, representatives of local and national Unitarian organisations and members of the Whitefield Council of Churches.
