Each Year, the Church keeps a week of prayer, from 18-25 January, focussing on the Unity of God's Church. This year, a leaflet has been prepared with a cycle of prayer, for all local churches and congregations within the BB5 postcode area. This is available on the link. Please use this week to ask God to draw all Christians together in the hope that we can proclaim God's love to the people of Accrington and beyond.In the Parish of the Good Shepherd, we will offer our Tuesday and Thursday evening masses on 21 and 23 January with particular intention for the Unity of God's Church. Please make every effort to come along to one of these masses. All welcome!Tuesday 21 January: Mass for Unity at St Andrew's Church at 6.00 pmThursday 23 January: Mass for Unity at St Mary Magdalen's Church at 6.00 pm
