Every Wednesday morning we open the doors at 9-9.30am and grab a brew, after which we sit down to have an informal discussion on a particular theme, e.g. prayer, creation, forgiveness, heaven, to name a few. We usually start off with a video clip or icebreaker question and then look at something in the Bible. We have a brew for a break at around 10.15am, then do a prayer, craft or reflection activity. The group finishes at 11am. All are welcome!

Fed up with cooking at home? Fed up with eating alone at home? St. Matthew's Lunch Club is a great place to meet friends and to have a meal. Everyone in the community is very much welcome. Do come for a chat and a meal!

There will be a special evening Eucharist on Ascension Day, 9 May.

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.

Main Sunday service with hymns and sung communion setting.

Fun Church is a church gathering that’s particularly engaging for children and easily accessible for those who don’t go to church. Each week we play games, make crafts, pray, sing songs, think about God and eat together. All are welcome.
