On 3rd June 2024 Allison Worrell was licensed to JohnPaul Parish as LLM (Church Army Evangelist). The service was led by Bishop Philip and followed by tea and cakes.Thank you to everyone who came along to support Allison, including her Church Army Colleagues.
As you may be aware the church in Baxenden is facing a large bill (£300,000) for repairs to the tower/steeple.Contrary to rumour the church is still very much open. The entrance has been certified safe by a structural engineer. All activities are carrying on as normal.
