Looking forward to the coming months – August 23 Onwards

  1. Exhibition in the Town Centre.

We are planning to hold an exhibition in Blackburn Market which will promote our Church by telling people what goes on here, where we are and will include information about – Worship, Bible study, Prayer mornings (on Zoom), our 3C’s café, the Fellowship group meetings, the Art and Craft group, the Judo club and the SEB Food Club.   The exhibition will be held from 21st August for 1 month and we hope that many people will find time to look at the exhibition and find out where we are and what we do.

  1. Hold Messy churches Sessions for Children.

These sessions will include Art and Craft, Story Telling, singing songs, and sharing food together all aimed at telling children about Jesus and something of the Christian faith in ways that they will find interesting, enjoyable, and engaging.  It’s called Messy Church because these activities can be ‘messy’ as well as being fun and enjoyable.

You may recall that we have been doing these sort of activities in local primary schools like an

‘After School Club’ for some time up to the beginning of the Pandemic. As from the Autumn of this year we are going to try to do them in our church, slightly before the beginning of the Judo sessions for young children on a Tuesday afternoon in the hope that families might come to the Messy Church session, have something to eat during the session, and then stay on for the Judo session that start at 5.30 pm.  This is a new idea which we hope will prove popular and we will report on how it goes in our future newsletters.

3.Community Larder

As you know we as Westbury Gardens Church have been, and continue to be, very pleased to be able to support the work that the South East Blackburn (SEB) Food Club does each week from our church.  This work has continued throughout the Pandemic and continues to provide food parcels, for a small charge, to those families that need some help particularly now as food cost have risen so much. They have been doing this for at least 50 families and are now thinking that they would like to provide a Community Larder instead using a Fridge and Freezer to hold food for longer periods of time so that families can access food, at reasonable prices, each week.  This is likely to start in the early Autumn and we as Westbury Gardens Church will continue to support SEB in this new venture by becoming the location of the Community Larder.  It is thought that this will principally be open on a Friday teatime/early evening as people come home from work.   Preparations are in hand to make the necessary changes to our building to accommodate the Larder and provide easy access to it for people that use it. We have been successful in obtaining a Synod grant to help us establish the Larder and help with its running costs with the SEB team will staff and running the Larder with our help and support.

 

Lancashire Area Missional Partnerships Ministry Meeting 2nd September Samlesbury Hotel

10.00 – 3.00 pm – lunch provided.

This meeting on the 2ndSeptember will be an opportunity to look again at how the Partnerships are shaped, and where ministry is best deployed.  Lancashire Area is currently divided into four Missional Partnerships, within which the 31 churches in Lancashire are grouped sharing 7 ministers, 2 CRCWs and a Pastor.   Church closures, and mergers, have meant that the way in which the Partnerships are divided up might no longer be the best way to share ministry and leadership across the churches. It will be an open forum, and an opportunity to talk freely about how we might re-structure the Partnerships.  All church members are invited and encouraged to attend this important meeting.  Please let Derek know by 16th August if can go, if you have any special dietary needs and if you will need transport to get there.
