Don't forget that a week on Sunday we'll gather for our united benefice service at St Mary the Virgin Church, Gisburn. See you there!

On the fifth Sunday of the month, the churches in our benefice gather for a united service of Holy Communion.

This month's service is extra special because we'll be celebrating Trinity Sunday, along with a baptism.

All are very welcome to join us!
