Huge congratulations to the Church Wardens of our benefice who were 'sworn in' by Bishop Philip North, Bishop of Blackburn and Ven Jane Atkinson, Archdeacon of Blackburn this evening: Mike, Valda and Malcolm.

Please pray for them as they embark in this ministry, and as Bishop Philip said, may they be Jesus focussed, generous and full of Joy! Thank you very much for your ministry.

Betty, one of the wardens for Christ Church, Charnock Richard will be sworn in later this month.

It is with great shock that we hear of the death of Cole. This will without doubt deeply affect so many at the football club and throughout our local community.

We pray for Cole's family and friends, for his teammates, coaches, and everyone who knew and loved him. May they find strength, comfort, and support in one another during these difficult days.

Lord Jesus, hold Cole in your loving arms, bring peace to those who mourn, and surround our community of Charnock Richard with your compassion and grace.

"Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted." (Matthew 5:4)

Please keep Cole and all who grieve him in your prayers tonight. 🕯️Fr Jordan, Rector.

A prayer for all of our wonderful year 6 children as they begin their SATS today. May you go well and do your best, being the child God made you to be. Fr Jordan.

Loving God,
Please remove all worry and anxiety for children, teachers, parents and carers of our year 6 children.
Hold them up to know they are loved and beautifully made.
Give them confidence to know their efforts are appreciated and valued,
And what ever the outcome, nothing changes, as you love them without condition.
Amen.
