Our Wednesday morning discussion group usually starts off with a brew and a chat. We then will have a video clip or or icebreaker question, after which we read a story or some verses in the Bible, followed with an informal discussion, a brew (yes another one!), prayer, crafting or reflections.

Join us in the Church Hall 9.15am-10.45am every Wednesday during school term time. ALL are welcome!

Are you fed up with cooking and/or eating alone? Do you fancy a homemade hot meal with a brew? Do come and join! Wednesday Lunch is more than a meal but a lovely time of fellowship and joy.

You’re invited to come together to pray for our church and community. This year we’re considering how we can pray with greater urgency and expectancy. A weekly prayer meeting will begin on Wednesday 8th January 1.30-1.50pm and continue every Wednesday afterwards. You don’t need to be an expert in prayer to come along, simply turn up and a member of clergy or an Authorised Lay Minister will lead the prayers. This will take place in the Lady Chapel, access via the door to the right of the noticeboard on the St Matthew’s Street wall of church.

Our church toddler group runs every Thursday during school term time. It is free to attend (although donations are gratefully received) and is open to children from birth to school age. All children must be accompanied by a parent or carer. Please do give our friendly group a try as there are lots of new activities for the sessions this half term, and we would love to welcome new people.

JAFFA Club runs term time each Sunday during the 10.30am service except on the first Sunday of each month. It is aimed at children aged 4 years plus and we have a great group of both adults and young leaders, who plan and deliver meaningful sessions using the Blackburn Diocese educational resources. The leaders have varied skills and attributes, which means that the children are able to experience an array of fun activities including games, Bible stories, crafting, singing, and prayers, and not forgetting, biscuits and chocolates whilst all the time learning about God and Jesus's love for all of us. We always welcome new children of primary school age. Please speak to Rev Kat or one of the leaders for more information and spread the word.
