followed by lunch- please see event page for details.

Your gifts of tinned and dried goods will be gratefully received during our services. These will go to the local foodbanks we support, namely ‘Open Door’ (Colne) and ‘St Philip’s Centre’ (Nelson)

All monetary donations received at our Harvest services will go to the Bishop’s Appeal. Please read on and click the link to hear more about this Appeal. Last summer, during the Lambeth Conference, Bishop Philip met one of the most inspirational Christian leaders he had ever come across. Bishop Joseph Aba is the Bishop of Liwolo, which is in the southern part of South Sudan. Just two days after he was elected Bishop, that whole part of South Sudan was plunged into the most terrible and destructive Civil War. Bishop Joseph had to lead his people into exile.

CRESS UK (Christian Relief and Education for South Sudan) was founded in 2011 by Caroline Lamb, following her visit to Kajo Keji in 2009. This visit left Caroline very moved by the plight of the people, lack of education and health provision and poor infrastructure.

Our regular Sunday Holy Communion service is at 11.00am. Refreshments are served in The Refectory following the service.
Families and young children are welcomed.

It is a monthly service and will be on the fourth Sunday of the month.

It is a service for everyone – hence its name!
It is a service of Holy Communion, but in a less formal way. We pray this will develop to be a popular and accessible service for all.

Those who attend church regularly
Those who are not sure of what we do at a Communion service
Those wishing to explore Christianity and church attendance

We look forward to seeing you – why not invite your neighbour?
