**********************************************
A Year of Prayer across Blackburn Diocese: If you didn’t receive a bookmark last week there is now a supply at the back of church. The bookmark has the words of the ‘Leading your Church into Growth prayer’ and space for you to pray for five people to find faith. Please treasure the bookmark and use it in your personal times of prayer.
FCMS Open Day: This is a wellness event organised by Fylde Coast Medical Services and will take place in the Boathouse between 11 am and 3 pm on Tuesday. Everyone is welcome to bob in to this free event. NHS health checks, wellbeing advice, cookery class, painting are just some of the things on offer. In attendance will be representatives from Dental Services, Broadway Pharmacy, Nutritionists and many others. St Nic’s will also have a stall and we will be promoting all our activities and services and offering prayer support and friendship.
Wednesday 7pm Trinity Baptist Church: A service is being held to mark the week of prayer for Christian Unity, to which we are all invited. Just as the Nicene Creed is an expression of the common faith of Christians, so this week invites us to draw on our shared heritage and to enter more deeply into the faith that unites all Christians. Do try to come along.
Electoral Roll 2025: Every parish in the Church of England must have an electoral roll on which the names of lay persons are entered. It is revised annually with a new roll completed every six years. 2025 requires us to complete a new roll! You will find application forms at the back of church, please complete one for yourself and take one for anyone who finds it more difficult to get to church these days but is still considered part of the church family. To be included on the roll, you must be baptised and aged over 16 and be able to answer yes to ONE of the following: - (1) you live in the parish and are in communion with the CofE. (2) You don’t live in the parish but have habitually attended St Nic’s for the last 6 months or more. Once completed, place the form in the box at the back of church.
Please remember in your prayers: Sister Eily May, Katie, Brian Brown, Louise Gorley, Mark Price, Michael Carthy, Paul Sumner, Sandra Pratt, Michael, Chris Kelsall, Brian Morris, Elaine Clarke, Tracey Ashworth, Eloise, Primrose and Rev Andrew Downes. We also remember the families of Alf Evans, Stephanie Cashmore, Brian Gregson, Scott Remblance, Dyllis Pumphrey, Clare Barker and Dorothy Hankey whose funerals are due to take place.
