It was a lovely time of chatter and friendship as we made them, with a cuppa on hand. We then tried them out in our prayers at the end. We next meet Weds 4th March. Why not join us?
This week Bishop Philip is in Kenya for a gathering which is being supported by Christian Aid and is thought to be the first of its kind.He will be meeting with (pictured left to right alongside Bishop Philip) Bishop Joseph Aba, from Liwolo Diocese in South Sudan; Bishop Dintoe Letloenyane, from Free State Diocese in South Africa and Bishop Leo Paul of Multan Diocese in Pakistan. Our Diocese is also linked with Braunschweig Diocese in Germany, but they are currently in a vacancy period between Bishops. The gathering is groundbreaking because, while it seeks to further strengthen relationships between Blackburn Diocese and its link Dioceses, it will also have the additional purpose of fostering stronger long-term collaboration between the partner Dioceses as well.The Bishops will pray together and seek to build strong personal relationships. You can follow and find out more by clicking the link Diocesan website.
All our food is cooked on the premises (as it should be). The feedback was wonderful. Thank you to Rosemary who runs our Saturday café and to Caroline, her loyal assistant and to all who contribute to our outreach in this place.
We sang hymns that bring hope to us, all followed by a delicious home cooked hot lunch. Some of us got ‘seconds!’ Join us next time – February 24th at 12noon. All welcome.
