Reading John’s Gospel
This Lent we’re all challenged to get our bible reading back on track and read through the whole of John’s Gospel. You can download or print the full reading scheme here. As well as doing the reading you’re invited to join a Lent Group (details from St. Margaret's or St. Leonard's) at which members will simply have the opportunity to discuss the week’s reading from John.

The new Blackburn Diocese Website has a wide range of links to valuable inforrmation sources. A good number of these links are already included in our own list of links in the left column, but to go directly to the Diocese page just click here.
Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another— and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

we pray that you
will transform your church
as you renew us by your love.
Give us vision for the journey
that we may travel light
and live increasingly by faith.
Inspire, enliven and empower us,
so that along the Way
we may be sustained by the life of Christ
in ourselves,
in one another
and in the world.
Amen.
