Since the sad news of our Queen’s passing on Thursday 8th September, we remember with fondness her devotion and service to our country and Commonwealth, and her dedication as Head of State and Head of the Church of England. Our parish is holding a memorial service on Thursday, 15th September at 6pm, Holy Trinity. The service is expected to last for around one hour (no more) and all are welcome to attend. We pray with those grieving our country’s loss, but we also pray for our new King, Charles III, and for his accession to the throne. Long live the King!

He knows Bolton-le-Sands school having taught there as part of his role with the music service.Commenting on his appointment he says:“It is a big move for our whole family relocating from Preston but we are convinced it is a move worth making. With it being such a big decision we have prayed about it and we feel we are following God’s call. I am not biased to age or background…I am committed to youth and children’s work.”He comes with his wife, Louisa, and three young children.The actual date for the move is still to be determined by the diocese but it is likely to be around Easter time.
