This Sunday is Father John's last Sunday at Holy Family RC Church, Freckleton. Rev Christine, Deacon Kim from Freckleton Methodist Church and myself have had a brilliant ecumenical working relationship with him, so we will be sad to see him go. We look forward to working with Father Stephen when he arrives.We took Father John out for a delicious farewell lunch at The Ship at Freckleton.Wishing you every blessing in your new ministry from all of us.
Wishing year 6 lots of luck in their SATS next week and remember what Rev Tracy said in your worship. Jesus will keep you calm, like he calmed the storm. And you are loved for exactly who you are.
Both Holy Trinity Church Freckleton and St Pauls Warton were delighted to support a prisoner project at Garth Prison Leyland. They've donated lots of kitchen items, mixers, bowls, tea towels, bread maker, spoons, cake tins etc so a new project can take place.
Lovely to have Freckleton C of E Primary School in for their Ascension Day Eucharist. We looked at empty shoes to think about Jesus and the Ascension.Football boots and the winning team remind us of Jesus is the King who now reigns.Comfy Slippers that we wear at home remind us that Jesus is home with his Father and has rescued us and paid the price so we can one day be at home with God too.The sandals are more like the shoes Jesus would have worn when he lived his earthly life. He understands our difficulties and temptations and he is our friend in heaven who prays for us.
