Tonight we held silence with 30 teenagers on our estate. We talked about how over the next couple of weeks we’ll see & hear a lot about death & loss. We thought about the people we’ve lost or have died. As we head into national mourning, take care of yourself & others. #RIPQueen

“People are itching to answer the big questions in life.” Our friends from St Luke’s Church Blackburn shared with us this fantastic story from their latest Alpha!

Earlier, as we set up for one of our monthly worship ‘Burn Nights’ St Luke’s Church Blackburn I mused over what I’m discovering about being part of an estate church plant that puts young people at it’s heart. Mostly it’s that when you switch the lights on, all ages walk in from the dark.

We loved having our Bishop drop in to spend time with us @stlukesblackburn this morning! #lightingupbeacons #inspirational #churchplanting The CofE in Lancashire (Blackburn Diocese) Bishop of Burnley HTB Church
