🚲Training for the Pedal Along, which is on 17th Oct and is part of our effort to raise funds for the Harvest Appeal. This year the money is going to be supporting the Diocese of Free State in South Africa.

Find out how you can get involved. 🚵

What terrible news about the attack on a synagogue in Manchester. Prayers for all now living with fear and especially the Jewish community. We must actively seek out ways to bring peace and harmony back to our neighbourhoods.

Looking forward to the launch event tonight. #Hope4Accrington This is not just about buildings or strategy. It’s about people meeting Jesus and discovering the difference He makes.

We are looking for the next Archdeacon of Blackburn - someone who can work as part of a team to renew parish life, support clergy and lay leaders and use the critical role of Archdeacon to grow the Church.
