Super heroes day 2018
It was great to see so many children at our ‘Super Heroes’ activities day, having fun and joining in.
The day started with a ‘ wake up to music’ session, this was followed by a range of activities including crafts, where they decorated their ‘super heroes’ t- shirt and made a mosaic; drama, where they acted there scenes of two ‘super heroes’ from the Bible; took part in sports activities and went on a treasure hunt, which was also based around our theme.
We all came together towards the end of the day to 
watch the group dramas, sing songs and see a drama put on by some of the adults and older children about the greatest super hero of all for Christians – ‘Jesus’.
Some of the children’s work will be on display this Sunday in church during the 11am Family Service – every one is welcome.
Thanks to all those who helped the day run smoothly, we could not have hosted the day without!

A huge congratulations to Sarah McMinn & Linda Vine who have just been admitted to office to serve as our Church Wardens for 2018 – 2019. On behalf of the congregation, we thank you for standing as Wardens and we give you our support and our prayers and best wishes in the year ahead.
A wonderful evening was had by all who went on the canal trip. We set off from Hoghton boat arena and gently cruised towards Wheelton for about an hours. The sun was on the water, the canal banks were full of bluebells and the cows were grazing in the fields, which they shared on occasion with Canada geese, – all of which helped to create an idyllic setting for our cruise.
Inside the canal boat the tables were covered with blue damask linen cloths and adorned with vases of flowers. A delicious potato pie with mushy peas and red cabbage was served by the young efficient waiting staff as we cruised in the opposite direction – towards Feniscowles. Drinks from the bar, great company, conversation & laughter all went to making the evening a success.
Thank you to the MU members who organised the trip & the transport to and from Hoghton, and for inviting ‘us non – members’. It was a lovely evening.
The Church relies on volunteers to help keep it clean and tidy. Although volunteers do cleaning tasks weekly, we are aiming to give the church a good ‘spring’ clean about every six weeks. There are a variety of tasks to do – from sweeping to mopping; dusting & polishing and of course the more volunteers there are the quicker the jobs get done.
Please you can give an hour of your time to help. The Church is open for cleaning at 10:00am.
Thank you.
