There will be a Communion Service at 8:00am at All Saints’ but there will be no service at 9:30am at Altham and no 11:00am service at All Saints’.

Altham will also be holding their Carol Service at 4:00pm. The Haslingden Concert Band will be playing music from 3:30pm

This service is live in church, but it will be streamed so if you are unable to attend you can view it online. Now most of the words will also appear when you view the service on line so it will be easier to follow the service.

 

Church cleaning Saturday 14th December

Next church cleaning session

All welcome to come along and help!

We are all members of the God’s church, so it would be lovely if you  could spend just half hour or so  to help make the church look nice and clean ready for Christmas ; you don’t have to stop the whole time. Please come and help if you can – the more helpers we have the quicker it can be done!

The more the merrier!

Thank you your help will be greatly appreciated
