We had a good attendance and lots of questions. We are now going to offer 1:1 time with Darren, at The Refectory on an appointment basis. IT IS ALL FREE – isn’t this just wonderful! Contact me Areadean.pendle@blackburn.anglican.org to register and we will arrange a day and time. You will need to bring your device (lap top, mobile, iPad) with you. .
This Lent, we journey through the book of Acts, tracing how God’s story became the Church’s story—and ours. From a small, fragile group in Jerusalem to a worldwide movement, Acts shows God breaking barriers and transforming lives through His Spirit. This isn’t just history—it’s still unfolding today, and you’re part of it.Booklets will be available in church on Ash Wednesday and Sunday 22nd February
