Welcome to St. Barnabas Church Darwen. We are a friendly church, seeking to joyfully follow Jesus together.

What's on

24/7 Prayer

Occurring
for 7 days, 1 hour
Venue
St Paul's Churchyard
Address
, BB3 3NN, United Kingdom

From 22nd to 29th June, St Barnabas and St Paul's churches are coming together for an extraordinary week of non-stop prayer—and you’re invited to be part of it! For seven days, a large marquee will stand on the historic foundations of the former Hoddlesden Church, right in Hoddlesden Churchyard (BB3 3NN). Inside, prayer will flow day and night, as the "baton of prayer" is passed from one person to the next.
The week kicks off with a special opening service in the tent at 9:30am on Sunday 22nd June, and culminates in a joyful joint celebration service with St Barnabas at 9:30am on Sunday 29th June. There will be no service St Barnabas on 29 June.
Whether you're seasoned in prayer or just curious to explore, the tent is open to all. There will be creative, family-friendly spaces and activities to help people of all ages connect with God in new and meaningful ways.
You can drop in to the tent between 8am and 7pm, but we would love you to book a prayer slot so that we can have someone praying throughout the week.
