'Caring for God's Acre‘ - As churchyards are relatively undisturbed they are sanctuaries for wildlife and we try to map it each year.

It runs all this week and any info we send in is recorded nationally.

All you need is an iPhone
Download the app then wander around and snap pictures of the flora and fauna.

🌟 Friday Praise Service 🌟

Join us on Friday 12th June at 6:30pm at St Paul's Church as we explore the theme of Encouragement.

Who encourages you? Who has supported you, prayed for you, or helped you through difficult times?

And who do you encourage? How can your words and actions bring hope and strength to others?

Together we will reflect on how God encourages us through His love, His Word, and the people He places in our lives, and how we can share that encouragement with those around us.

Come and join us for an evening of worship, reflection, and fellowship.

Everyone is warmly welcome.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for our Parish Walk and Service this morning!

It was wonderful to see members of our congregations, uniformed organisations, families, and friends coming together in worship and fellowship.

Thank you to everyone who brought food, helped with refreshments, assisted behind the scenes, and contributed in so many ways to make the day such a success.

Special thanks to Appetite Sandwich Shop & Caterers for providing the wonderful catering and to Haslingden and Helmshore Band whose music added to the spirit and enjoyment of the walk.

Your support, generosity, and community spirit are greatly appreciated. It was a joy to gather together as one Parish. ⛪️
