Living in Love and Faith (LLF) Saturday 14th May
It’s well over twelve months ago now since churches within the diocese of Blackburn were asked to start to engage with the national church on the issues of how questions about identity, sexuality, relationships and marriage fit within the bigger picture of the good news of Jesus Christ. We were asked to start thinking about what it means to live in love and faith together as a Church?
The national church has been exploring these questions in depth for some time and as flagged up on this newsletter previously, the discussion at deanery level will take place on Saturday 14th May. St Nicholas is hosting the gathering in the Broadway Rooms starting at 9.45 am and ending by 4 pm. We will be joined by our brothers and sisters in Christ from Poulton, Cleveleys and Thornton to undertake a day of input, videos and discussion. We have managed to condense six evening sessions into one day!
It is important that we engage with this topic as the outcomes, whatever they are, will have far reaching consequences for the Church of England going forward. Please consider giving up your Saturday to join us. There’s a sign-up sheet at the back of church. Drinks and refreshments will be provided but please bring your own packed lunch.
O Holy Spirit, giver of light and life,
impart to us thoughts higher than our own thoughts
and prayers better than our own prayers,
and powers beyond our own powers,
that we may spend and be spent in the way of love and goodness,
after the perfect image of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
100 Club - Winners last week were Ruth Aspinall, Cath/Jeff Chambers, and Mavis Evans.
Please remember in your prayers – Fr Ron, Rev Jane Everitt, Jenny, Jillian Muir, Tony Hardman, Eddie Gillon, Rev Martin Keighley, Gillian King, Alison Horrobin, Harry Pendlebury and Christine Jones. And also, the families of Doris Lemon, Barbara Poole, Heather Hinson, Alan Fleming and Michael Jones whose funerals are due to take place.
