JAFFA Club runs term time each Sunday during the 10.30am service except on the first Sunday of each month. It is aimed at children aged 4 years plus and we have a great group of both adults and young leaders, who plan and deliver meaningful sessions using the Blackburn Diocese educational resources. The leaders have varied skills and attributes, which means that the children are able to experience an array of fun activities including games, Bible stories, crafting, singing, and prayers, and not forgetting, biscuits and chocolates whilst all the time learning about God and Jesus's love for all of us. We always welcome new children of primary school age. Please speak to Rev Kat or one of the leaders for more information and spread the word.

JAFFA Club, featured with games and crafts, will run throughout summer.

Sanctuary

Occurring
for 1 hour

St Matthew The Apostle with Holy Trinity
Address
St Matthew the Apostle with Holy Trinity Church, Harriet Street, Burnley,, BB11 4JH, United Kingdom

Sanctuary, a musical directed by Cheryl Martin, a production of Red Ladder Theatre Company in collaboration with Theatre Royal Wakefield & CAPA College, is a story of a young Iranian man's hopes for help and support in a time when not all strangers are welcomed. His cry for sanctuary at St. Mary's Church in a northern town sparks a community to react in all the ways each member believes to be right. A young worker joins forces with the vicar to resist both the angry vigilantes and the hard-hearted authorities beyond the church walls to try to protect this young man.

With a chorus drawn from students at Wakefield's CAPA College, Boff Whalley and Sarah Woods' musical mixes hard-hitting ideas with memorable melodic tunes and harmonies.

The musical is kindly supported by the Mayor of West Yorkshire's Safer Communities Fund.

All performances will be captioned via The Difference Engine, a tool that enables deaf and hard-of-hearing people to read performance on their phone.

Age guidance: 13+
