Why not make a different kind of pumpkin this year! Enjoy Halloween and stay safe in the dark. Pumpkin Prayer Dear God, As I carve my Pumpkin, hear my prayer. Open my mind so I can learn about You (Cut the top of the Pumpkin) Take away all my sins and forgive me for the wrong things I do. ( Clean out the inside of the Pumpkin) Open my eyes so Your love I will see. (Cut out the eyes shape of a heart if possible) I’m sorry for turning my nose up to all you have given me. (Cut out nose shape of a cross if possible) Open my ears so Your word I will hear. (Cut ears out shaped like a Bible) Open my mouth so I can tell others your are near. (Cut mouth in shape of a fish if possible) Let your light shine in all I say and do. (Place a candle inside and light it) AmenSt John’s church will be open 5pm-7pm on Friday 31st October (Halloween) There will be a ‘trick or treat’ treasure hunt (not all be treats!), craft activities and a music playlist all about light.

The full inspection was carried out last week on the 15th of October. This was carried by Cemeteries Officer, Dave Wharton of Pendle Borough Council assisted by Brian Sutcliffe and Ron Smith. Families of the deceased are responsible for Memorials and must make arrangements with a Memorial Mason to make them safe. We are pleased to report that any requiring attention were made safe on the day.
