Line in the Sand

for 1 hour, 30 mins
St John's Baxenden
Manchester Road Baxenden, BB5 2RQ, United Kingdom

Every church has a story; whether good, bad, or mixed. It may be unconscious but can persist through many years and ministers affecting the church’s ministry and mission. There comes a point when any church has put the past behind to move forwards.
‘Forget the former things do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.’ Isaiah 43: 18-19
Present and past members of St John’s Baxenden and St Paul’s Accrington are invited to take part in a service to say sorry as a church and individuals, for past hurts and disappointments. The hope is that this will enable JohnPaul Parish put draw a line in the sand, plant a pole in the ground, and move forwards to show and tell Jesus’ story to our community.
This service will be held in both churches over a weekend. You are welcome to attend either

St Paul's Accrington

Welcome to Accrington St Paul. We are now a joint Parish with Baxenden St John. Services are held at St Paul's at 9am and St John's at 10.30am. Where there is a 5th Sunday there will be a joint service at 10am. The location will alternate between St Paul's and St John's. Refreshments are usually served after the services. Children's church takes place during the services except on the first Sunday of the month (from January 2023) when both churches have an All-Age Service.

We are learning to work together for the benefit of our community; and to grow closer to God as we develop our prayer life and discipleship.

We welcome ALL of ANY age, those with a lot of church background, those with some background and especially those with none! Our prayer and desire is that, whoever you are and wherever you are up to in life, we can help you meet with the Living and Loving God. We hope our services will help you pray to Him, praise Him, share with Him, listen to Him and seek to live for Him. If you have questions about Jesus, Christianity, or are a new Christian, we would love to help you. If you would like to get more involved, please contact us
